Maximum width
Prohibitory and restriction signs

Maximum width

Vehicles wider than the width shown must not pass.

Check the width of the vehicle and its load against the figure shown. Take another route if it exceeds the limit.

A common design is a red-bordered circle with a width figure between horizontal arrows. Poland’s B-15 has a white background, while the UK’s 629A shows metric and imperial measurements.

How it looks in each country

Official sign in each country; the code is its number in the national rules. Signs that come in two directions show the left and the right version.
