No overtaking by goods vehicles over 3.5 tonnes

This sign prohibits vehicles not intended for carrying people, with a maximum authorised mass over 3.5 tonnes, from overtaking motor vehicles. It does not apply to buses, cars or motor caravans merely because their mass exceeds 3.5 tonnes, since they are intended for carrying people. Goods vehicles at or below the stated threshold are not covered unless a supplementary plate changes the limit. Pay attention to both vehicle purpose and maximum authorised mass.
