Correct answer
No; a lorry belongs to the automobile class.
No: a lorry is legally an automobile and may use a road marked with S-3. The sign reserves the road for automobiles, not just passenger cars, and imposes no 3,500 kg maximum-authorised-mass limit. Observe any other applicable restrictions; cycles, mopeds and special vehicles are not included in this reserved class.
