Studies have been made of the delays caused to other traffic by the movement of abnormal indivisible loads. This report gives results for eleven load movements which were observed over a total distance of 1264 miles on all-purpose, most by single carriageway, roads. Average delays are given in terms of minutes per vehicle to the overtaking and to the opposing traffic, and also in terms of vehicle-hours of delay per mile travelled by the load; for both traffic streams together the latter figure ranged from 2 to 16 vehicle-hours for the different loads. The cost, per mile travelled by the load, to other traffic and to the police is also estimated. (Author)
