Which sign prohibits vehicles over the maximum gross weight shown?

• A. No goods vehicles over maximum gross weight shown
• B. No heavy vehicles over limit
• C. No vehicles over maximum gross weight shown
• D. Maximum gross weight exceeded sign

Answer: (C)

The key idea here is weight restriction signs, which use the maximum gross weight (the vehicle plus its load) as the limit. This sign means you must not travel further if your vehicle’s total weight exceeds the limit shown on the plate beneath the sign. It applies to all vehicles, not just goods vehicles, unless a specific version of the sign says otherwise.

The other options aren’t the standard wording for this prohibition. One would restrict only goods vehicles, not all vehicles; another isn’t a recognizable sign, and the last uses wording that isn’t used for these restrictions. So the best choice is the general sign that states no vehicles over the maximum gross weight shown.
