Maximum weight
Regulatory signsSign no. 2.16OSR art. 20
What the sign says
The figure is a weight in tonnes that the vehicle, or the combination, must not exceed. It protects a structure: a bridge, a weak surface.
The exam trap
What counts is the actual weight — the real weight with occupants and load — not the permitted total in the registration document.

The signs are the official depictions by the Federal Roads Office, from the annexes of the Signalling Ordinance (SR 741.21): official works, unprotected under Art. 5 of the Copyright Act. The explanations, by contrast, are written from federal law — never taken from a third-party catalogue.
