Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The R-107 sign prohibits access to vehicles intended for the transport of goods (trucks, tractor units and vans or panel vans) whose maximum authorized mass (MAM) exceeds the figure shown on the sign. The restriction is based on the MAM stated in the vehicle's documents and not on the mass it is carrying at that moment, so the prohibition applies even if it is driving completely empty. The sign that refers to the actual laden mass is the R-201 (mass limit), which is not the one for trucks and vans with a tonnage figure. Therefore, it is not valid to allow empty vehicles through or to measure the actual mass at that moment.
