The sign "Ban on vehicles over specified actual weight" indicates that vehicles exceeding a certain weight limit are prohibited from entering or using the road or area where the sign is placed. This is typically done to protect road infrastructure, ensure the safety of other road users, and manage traffic flow.

When you see this sign, it is important to check the accompanying weight limits displayed on the sign itself, usually in tons (t). For example, if the sign indicates a limit of 3.5 tons, any vehicle that exceeds this weight is not allowed to proceed past the sign.

Drivers of heavier vehicles should look for alternative routes that are designed to handle their weight, as ignoring this sign can lead to penalties, including fines. Always pay attention to such regulations to ensure compliance and safety on the road.
