Which sign forbids goods vehicles over the maximum gross weight shown?

• A. No waiting
• B. No goods vehicles over maximum gross weight shown
• C. No entry for heavy vehicles
• D. Weight limit for goods vehicles shown

Answer: (B)

In this case, the sign that forbids goods vehicles over the maximum gross weight shown is a weight-restriction sign for goods vehicles. It means the total weight of the vehicle, including its load, must not exceed the figure shown on the sign. If your vehicle’s gross weight is higher than that number, you’re not allowed to proceed along that road. This specific phrasing targets overweight goods vehicles and aims to protect road surfaces and structures from damage.

The other options describe different rules: a sign about no waiting prohibits stopping or parking; a sign about no entry for heavy vehicles bans heavy vehicles in general, regardless of their actual weight; and a sign stating a weight limit for goods vehicles shown indicates a limit exists but doesn’t use the exact prohibition language for those exceeding the limit.
