The London Councils operates the London Lorry Control scheme and therefore decides on if a PCN is issued. If a PCN is issued we advise you to send details of the compliant route from your Lorry Route account with an explanation of what happened.

Lorry Route is an official provider of routes which comply with the London Lorry Control Scheme (LLCS). Therefore when you generate a route you have peace of mind knowing your routes are compliant with the scheme.

Also as an official provider of compliant routes, if you do receive a PCN from the London Councils related to LLCS, you can submit your route generated by Lorry Route as evidence you used a compliant route.

No, but we do hope you do! With so many rules and road regulations it can be difficult to plan your journey for HGVs.
