A village which has seen 2,000 lorries a day rumble through its narrow streets will be the site of a traffic management trial to find out if HGVs can be deterred from using it as a short cut.
Signs recommending HGV drivers choose the motorway instead could go up in Newton and the road will be narrowed during the six week trial.
Linlithgow local area committee heard last August there had been a 20 per cent increase in all traffic, including HGVs, through Newton since the opening of the Queensferry Crossing.
