Visit FAQ Section 📖The Maximum Gross Weight (Safety) Sign – RUS 053 is an essential regulatory road sign used in Ireland to restrict access to vehicles whose total weight exceeds a defined safe limit. This sign plays a crucial role in preserving road surface integrity, protecting vulnerable infrastructure, and enhancing overall traffic safety.
Easily recognisable by its bold black tonnage figure (e.g., 10t) inside a red circular border, the RUS 053 alerts drivers that vehicles above the displayed weight are not permitted on that stretch of road. This restriction may be enforced due to structural limits of bridges, weak pavements, or environmentally sensitive areas. Fully compliant with TSM Chapter 5 and CE marked to EN12899-1 standards, this sign is ideal for permanent installations in both rural and urban settings.
The RUS 053 is manufactured to meet high-performance standards, ensuring visibility, clarity, and longevity across all weather conditions and road environments.
