Maximum Gross Weight Sign – RUS 015 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign
The Maximum Gross Weight Sign – RUS 015 is a regulatory road sign used to restrict vehicles above a specific total weight from entering a designated area. In this case, the sign commonly displays a limit such as 7.5 tonnes, prohibiting access to heavier vehicles including large trucks and goods vehicles. It is an essential tool for traffic management, road preservation, and safety enforcement.
This sign is instantly recognisable with its black lorry icon and weight value inside a red circular border, indicating a clear restriction to all drivers. The RUS 015 sign is used in both urban zones and rural routes where bridge loads, road widths, or residential safety must be preserved. It is compliant with Traffic Signs Manual (Chapter 5) and CE certified under EN12899-1, making it a trusted permanent road control measure.
