PassMass Limit, Text Version
Where: Beneath a regulatory sign, where the restriction applies to vehicles above a stated mass and the symbol version of the sign would not make that clear.
Purpose: To state a mass limit in words and figures rather than as a symbol. The plate identifies which vehicles the sign above applies to.
Action Required by Driver: Check your vehicle's mass against the figure, including its load. If you are over it, the restriction above the plate applies to you; if you are under it, it does not. When in doubt, assume it applies.
The figure on the sign is an example
This sign is a template. The number printed on the real sign is set by the road authority for that particular road, bridge or structure, so always read the figure in front of you rather than remembering the one shown here.
