Narrowest Signed Width Restriction?

Post by Skipsy »

6'-3" for Shutta Road in Looe? Does anything even beat this?
The road is just barely wide enough!

This one beats the first (but not the second)

This one beats all the above at 5'6". Does it qualify though, as it's not in the UK but is in Mdina, Malta?

Fewer and fewer cars are less than 5ft 9in wide nowadays. The car being driven down the road is a Hyundai i30, which is 1795mm, or 5ft 10 5/8in wide. Oh dear...

It appears to have plenty of room on both sides though. Perhaps the restriction is between the width of the kerbs so that pedestrians aren't at risk of getting smacked on the backside by a mirror overhanging the pavement from a passing car?
