What does the sign showing 2 T indicate?

• A. No entry for two-axled trailers
• B. Axle weight limit of 2 tonnes
• C. No entry for vehicles with two-speed axles
• D. Maximum gross weight of 2 tonnes

Answer: (B)

Weight restriction signs set the maximum gross weight allowed beyond that point. A sign showing 2 T means the vehicle’s total weight, including its load, must not exceed 2 tonnes. This is a gross weight limit for the whole vehicle, not an axle-by-axle limit. Different signs indicate limits per axle or other constraints, but this one specifically guards against overloading the vehicle as a whole.
