London plans to ban heavy truck traffic for safety reasons

The unusual ban bears the signature of the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and would affect some 35,000 heavy trucks from the year 2020. In 2015, nine cyclists died in traffic accidents and five Of them (56%) they did it in accidents in which a large truck was involved, which the global numbers only account for 4% of the London fleet.

Khan proposes to implement a system of points that would evaluate from 0 to 5 the driver's visibility in each truck model. In four years (2020), vehicles with a score of 0 would be banned from driving in London and in eight years (2024) only trucks with three points or more would be allowed to do so.

The project has drawn criticism in the sector. The British Road Transport Association (RHA) has accused the Mayor of London of "demonizing" trucks when heavy transports are basic pillars of the local economy and play a "vital" role because they "keep the economy and shops running ". Banning heavy lorries would "stagnate London's economy and business, including the construction industry," according to the RHA.
