In view of this regulatory sign prohibiting the passage of trailers of a certain tonnage, is access permitted to a rigid truck?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The sign in the image is R-112, which prohibits access to motor vehicles towing a trailer, except when the trailer has a single axle. When it carries a tonnage figure (on the silhouette of the trailer or on a supplementary panel), the prohibition applies only when the maximum authorized mass (MAM) of the trailer exceeds that figure. A rigid truck driving without a trailer is not affected, whatever its own MAM. It is not true that entry is prohibited in any circumstances: the sign does not bar rigid trucks driving alone. The figure refers to the mass of the trailer, not that of the rigid vehicle, so there is no need to compare the MAM of the truck with the signposted one.
