7.5 Ton Weight Limit Signs
7.5 Ton weight limit road traffic signs for enforcing vehicle weight restrictions. Regulation-compliant reflective signage for bridges, narrow roads and restricted routes.
7.5 Ton Weight Limit Signs clearly restrict access for heavy vehicles on roads, bridges and residential routes. Designed for permanent roadside use, these reflective regulatory traffic signs improve compliance and protect infrastructure where vehicle weight limits must be enforced.
Install on approaches to bridges, weak structures, residential streets and narrow routes where heavy vehicle access must be restricted. Mount on roadside posts at standard traffic sign height with clear advance visibility. Position before the restriction begins so drivers can divert safely.
- ❌ Installing too close to the restriction with no diversion time
- ❌ Mounting where foliage or street furniture blocks visibility
- ❌ Using low reflectivity on higher speed approach roads
- ❌ On routes without structural or legal weight limits
- ❌ Where advisory weight guidance signs are required instead
- ❌ As a substitute for formal traffic regulation orders
- ✅ Position in advance of the restriction point
- ✅ Ensure reflective class suits road speed and lighting
- ✅ Pair with advance warning or diversion signage where needed

What are 7.5 Ton Weight Limit Signs? 7.5 Ton Weight Limit Signs are UK regulatory road traffic signs used to prevent vehicles exceeding 7.5 tonnes from entering restricted roads or structures.
Where should 7.5 ton weight limit signs be installed? They should be placed on approaches to bridges, residential streets, narrow lanes and routes where heavy vehicle access could cause damage or safety risks.
Do these signs meet UK road sign standards? Yes, they conform to BS EN 12899-1 standards for fixed vertical road traffic signs used on UK roads and works sites.
What reflective options are available? These signs are available in Class RA1 and higher performance RA2 reflective materials to suit different road visibility requirements.
Why are reflective weight limit signs important? Reflective faces improve visibility at night and in poor weather, helping drivers recognise the restriction earlier and choose an alternative route.
