Correct answer
No, because its total width exceeds the posted 2.50 metres.
No, because the lorry’s total width exceeds the indicated 2.50 metres. R-204 prohibits passage when maximum width, including the load, exceeds the posted value. Even if a 2.55-metre lorry meets the general authorised width, it must obey this specific restriction. Unladen vehicle width does not allow the current load to be ignored.
