Signage: General rules
Explanation
No overtaking for lorries (>3,500 kg)
- The sign indicates that lorries with a **Maximum Authorised Mass (MMA) over 3,500 kg** are **prohibited from overtaking**.
- Exception: they may only overtake **two-wheeled motorcycles without a sidecar**, and only **without entering the oncoming lane**.
- Justification: heavy vehicles need more time and distance to overtake, increasing the risk if they occupy the opposite lane; therefore this manoeuvre is restricted.
