About Closure signs C: who, what and which number is barred: which statement is WRONG?
- C17 = length; C22 = closed to vehicles carrying certain dangerous goods, not a dimension.
- The sign looks at the total mass or the sum of the axle loads — the actual, measured mass — not the permitted maximum mass on paper.
- A closure never applies to cyclists; they may always continue regardless of which sign is present.
- C6 = closed to motor vehicles WITH MORE THAN TWO WHEELS; this excludes a motorcycle (two wheels) from the ban, but an ordinary car falls under it.

Correct answer: A closure never applies to cyclists; they may always continue regardless of which sign is present.
Cyclists are only exempt if an under-sign with 'uitgezonderd' plus the cycle symbol explicitly says so; without that under-sign the ban applies to them too
Why learners get this wrong: Sign C22 closes the road to vehicles that, including load, are longer than the indicated figure — just like C17.
