What does this sign mean?
Revision material from the imported DVSA bank includes source-checked Lanekind learning corrections. These corrections are not newly issued official examination questions, and practice does not reproduce a live test paper.

You're allowed to carry on, but only with a police escort
You should continue slowly if your weight is above the limit
Don't cross unless the bridge is clear of other vehicles
Don't cross the bridge if your weight exceeds the limit
Show the answer
Don't cross the bridge if your weight exceeds the limitThis was the right answer
This particular weak-bridge sign states a maximum gross weight of 7.5 tonnes. Know the vehicle’s permitted maximum gross weight, not just its current load. Do not assume that unloading or crossing alone creates permission to exceed that restriction; plan a suitable route and check any actual exemption plate.
