Correct answer
whose total weight on any axle exceeds the indicated weight in tonnes.
The vertical R-202 axle mass limit sign shown in the image prohibits vehicles whose total weight on any axle exceeds 2.4 tonnes from passing. This means that if a vehicle has an axle carrying more than 2.4 tonnes, it is not permitted to travel where this sign is located. It is a safety measure to prevent damage to road infrastructure, such as bridges or roads, which are not designed to support such heavy weights.
