Default Re: What does this sign mean - "Vehicles over 2 tonnes do not enter side tracks" ?

Why would you make a sign that says 2 tonnes though, in that case? Why not 4.5 tonnes, which is the cut off point at which you need a truck license.

Anyway, trucks have to use the side part of the road in any case, to do deliveries and so on. What about rubbish collection - the rubbish trucks are going up and down that road every week (actually, rubbish collection might be at the rear, but in order to get to the rear, they still need to drive on the side lanes).

By the way Russ, I've been a member for 10 years now - joined Dec 4 2009! Where's my 10 year badge??
