British Toll Tunnels Dangerous Traffic

List of Restrictions: 14th Edition

This booklet has been compiled to provide a working list of restrictions applied at British Toll Tunnels-Mersey/Tyne/Dartford under relevant Tunnel Byelaws. This fourteenth edition retains essentially the same format as its predecessors.

The basis for the list is the restructured ADR  2007 European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous Goods by Road as amended by the report of the Committee of Experts meeting in December  2006. There is only one List of Restrictions in which the materials are arranged in ascending U.N. Number order. The restrictions, which include prohibition where appropriate, are shown against each entry. An alphabetical index, which includes chemical synonyms, and which enables the U.N. Number of a material to be identified, follows the List of Restrictions.

Previous editions of this booklet were based on the U.N Transport of Dangerous Goods Model Regulations. However, as UK legislation is increasingly harmonising with ADR, it has become appropriate for the booklet to be based on ADR. The changes in this edition are essentially those which follow from the differences between ADR and the U.N. Model Regulations and changes to ADR  2007.

In the interests of public safety, changes may be made in the restrictions from time to time and these will be incorporated in future editions of this booklet.

Nothing contained in this booklet is intended to give rise to the creation of legal rights.

A copy of the Dangerous Traffic List of Restrictions is available from the address below at £10 per copy. Cheques should be made payable to Le Crossing Company Limited.
