New TfL's HGV's can't see you for s*** poster

That makes sense if rear wheels cutting corners is a significant part of the problem, because the rear axles on long rigids do that even more than articulated trailers. ...

Or a little less sloppily, the amount of cutting in depends on the length of wheelbase, the amount the front pulls out, and the minimum turn radius. Given enough road space to their right, articulated lorries can turn their trailer wheels on the spot which means they could follow a sharp curve without their trailer wheels cutting in at all - something i notice while constructing these diagrams a while ago.

There's certainly scope for better freight consolidation, but a lot of detail to be worked through. It's difficult. In the meantime, the LCC's five-point plan outlines the most effective measures that can be taken more quickly and which won't break the bank.

But but but, we're having fun dreaming up ways to rebuild the world to our whims and spend other people's money... (And maybe freight infrastructure with road-trains would drift into getting more freight onto real trains.)

Seriously though, what does the current state-of-the-art consist of for point 3 of the LCC list?
