PassLength Limit
Where: On any public road, particularly in areas with sharp bends, steep gradients, narrow lanes, or mountainous terrain where long vehicles may have difficulty navigating safely. This sign is commonly placed before curves, tunnels, bridges, or narrow roads where vehicle length could pose a risk.
Purpose: To prohibit long vehicles from using a specific road where their length may make it difficult or impossible to negotiate curves safely.
- Swing risk — a vehicle's length may cause it to swing wide, potentially disrupting or endangering other road users.
- Manoeuvring risk — increases the risk of accidents or collisions due to limited maneuvering space.
Action Required by Driver: Drivers of long vehicles must take an alternative route if the vehicle exceeds the maximum length indicated on the sign. Plan your route in advance to avoid restricted areas, especially on mountain roads or narrow urban streets. Always adhere to the posted length limit, as ignoring the sign can endanger yourself, passengers, and other road users.
