Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The R-201 sign (Mass limit) prohibits the passage of vehicles whose laden mass exceeds the tonnage indicated. The sign in the image sets a limit of 5.5 tonnes and the laden mass of the bus, which includes the tare, the passengers and the luggage, is 6 tonnes, so it exceeds the limit and the bus must not enter the road. This sign applies to any vehicle, including buses, unlike those that limit only goods transport vehicles (R-106 and R-107), so it is not true that it affects only goods or that buses are exempt.
