What type of sign prohibits access to vehicles whose maximum authorized mass exceeds an indicated figure?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer refers to an entry prohibition sign. Specifically, this is the R-201 (Mass limit) sign, which prohibits access to vehicles whose Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM) exceeds the figure indicated on the panel (in tons). It is essential to distinguish this concept: MAM (Maximum Authorized Mass): This is the maximum legal weight the vehicle can have when loaded. The R-201 sign restricts access based on this administrative figure, regardless of whether the vehicle is empty or full at that moment. Actual Mass: There are other signs that limit based on the actual weight at the moment (such as axle weight limits), but that is not the case here. The other options are incorrect because priority signs regulate right of way at intersections, and obligation signs mandate an action, they do not restrict access based on the vehicle's technical characteristics.
