Visit FAQ Section 📖The Maximum Axle Weight Sign – RUS 054 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign is a regulatory sign that prohibits vehicles exceeding a specified axle weight from using a road, bridge, or structure. Featuring a black axle graphic with a tonnage value (e.g. 4t) inside a red circular border, this sign is designed to protect roads, culverts, and bridges from structural stress caused by heavy axle loads.
As specified in Chapter 5 of the Traffic Signs Manual (TSM), the RUS 054 sign is enforceable under Irish traffic law and is critical for the safety and longevity of infrastructure. It informs drivers—particularly HGV and commercial fleet operators—of the maximum permitted weight per axle, reducing the risk of collapse or surface damage on weight-sensitive routes.
