Data obtained on the axle weights of particular types of commercial vehicles at three sites, at one of which the observations were repeated after a nine month interval. These data provide useful information on the axle and gross vehicle loading of particular types of commercial vehicles and the percentage of overweight axle and vehicles.The observations were carried out initially to provide data for use within the Laboratory but a number of sources have drawn on a combination of the traffic count and axle weight data, to provide information on the wider aspects of commercial traffic and a summary of the available data has therefore been reproduced in the report
