An R-204 width-limit sign states 2.50 metres. Your lorry has a total width, including its load, of 2.55 metres. May it pass beyond the sign?

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.
