What should you do?
If driving a goods vehicle with that many axles, choose a different route; cars are not affected.
How to recognise it
A red ring with a black axle symbol and x3, crossed by a red diagonal bar.
Common confusion
It refers to axles rather than weight, unlike the No entry for large vehicles sign that shows a lorry with a tonnage figure.
