Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The regulatory vertical sign R-106 or R-107 prohibits access to vehicles intended for the transport of goods (understood as trucks and vans). When this sign establishes a general prohibition or one conditioned on a maximum authorized mass (MAM) figure shown on the sign itself or on a supplementary panel, the restriction applies according to the MAM shown in the vehicle's technical documents and not its actual weight or laden mass at that moment. Therefore, the prohibition remains in force even if the truck is traveling completely empty or with no load.
