You are driving a road haulage combination vehicle with a maximum authorised mass of 30 t. When may you continue driving after seeing this road traffic sign?

The traffic sign you've provided indicates a prohibition for truck traffic over 7.5 tons. However, there are exceptions that allow certain vehicles to proceed under specific circumstances.

According to German traffic regulations, a vehicle may continue to drive past this sign if:

1. The driver is delivering goods to a local resident or business within the restricted area. This means if you have a delivery destination within that zone, you are allowed to bypass the restriction.

2. The driver is on a designated diversion route. If you're rerouted due to roadworks or other temporary diversions, you are permitted to drive through the area even if the weight limit exceeds.

Choosing the combination of options 1 and 2 is correct because both scenarios fall under exceptions to the general prohibition indicated by the sign. Option 3, which relates to driving and rest periods, is not relevant to the exceptions specified by this sign.

Understanding these rules ensures compliance with local regulations and maintains traffic flow while allowing necessary commercial activity.
