Maximum Vehicle Length Sign – RUS 051 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

Maximum Vehicle Length Sign – RUS 051 | Permanent Ireland Traffic Sign

The Maximum Vehicle Length Sign – RUS 051 is a critical regulatory traffic sign used across Ireland to prohibit vehicles that exceed a specific length from entering certain roads or areas. This restriction is essential for protecting narrow roads, bridge structures, tunnels, and tight urban routes where oversized vehicles could pose a hazard or obstruction.

This sign clearly displays a silhouette of a truck with a numerical length (e.g., 10.5 m) beneath it, enclosed within a red circle. The visual clarity helps drivers immediately understand the restriction, ensuring compliance even in fast-paced or unfamiliar environments. As per the Traffic Signs Manual (Chapter 5) and European regulations, the RUS 051 is CE certified under EN12899-1, making it suitable for permanent installation on public roads, industrial zones, and access-controlled areas.
