Correct answer
It may not pass if its height, including the load, exceeds 4 m.
It prohibits passage if the vehicle’s maximum height, including the load, exceeds 4 metres. Exactly 4 metres does not exceed the figure, but technical and general limits and other signs still apply. It is not a length or mass restriction, and the displayed figure is not 3.5 metres. The figure alone does not guarantee that the entire route is accessible to the vehicle.
