Okay, fair enough, but as I already said, 2000kg gross weight is not a heavy vehicle. That's a Commodore/Falcon with a few people on board. The widely accepted definition of a heavy vehicle is over 4500kg GVM. So why can't the sign reflect this?
Alternatively, if they want to keep tall vehicles out of the side roads (to prevent damage to trees), why not simply say "vehicles over X metres tall do not enter side tracks" ?
