Shape and colour

Round white sign with a red rim and a black lorry and bus side by side: closed to both categories.

Where the sign stands

At the start of the closed stretch, right after the junction, on the right; often before a bridge or a narrow village centre.

What the exam asks about this sign

The question is which two categories may not drive on: lorries and buses, usually to spare a weak bridge or a narrow village centre. A van up to 3500 kg and a car may. Trap: candidates pick 'all motor vehicles', but that is C12.
