New signs should deter HGV drivers from using a residential road as a ‘rat run’, Norfolk County Council has said.
The warnings have been placed in Southtown in Great Yarmouth during roadworks to reduce queueing at a problem junction.
Residents had expressed concern that delivery trucks would use Stafford Road, which is restricted by a 7.5 tonne limit, to get to nearby Lidl and Vauxhall.
One resident took a picture, grabbed from CCTV footage, of a HGV on the road on Tuesday (September 24).
Norfolk County Council said: "The HGV in question was not delivering to a neighbouring business.
"New signage should now discourage HGVs to use this road as a 'rat run', however, we will continue to monitor the situation."
The council added: "Our Traffic Management team has been working closely with nearby Lidl and B&M who have co-operated well with the supervision of their deliveries via Station Road onto Southtown Road."
