Question 507 in the bank

What is the meaning of the following traffic sign?

A white circle with a thick red border, containing a black truck symbol. Below it is the number 8, with the letter ט to its left, the letter t to its right, and the Arabic letter ت beneath it. Meaning: No entry for commercial motor vehicles with an overall weight which exceeds the weight indicated in the sign.
  1. Entry is permitted for commercial motor vehicles with an overall weight which exceeds the weight indicated in the sign.
  2. Correct answer: No entry for commercial motor vehicles with an overall weight which exceeds the weight indicated in the sign.
  3. No entry for any type of vehicle that has a higher all up weight than what is indicated in the sign.
  4. Entry is permitted for all motor vehicles.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: No entry for commercial motor vehicles with an overall weight which exceeds the weight indicated in the sign.

A red circle with a truck symbol and a weight figure prohibits entry of commercial motor vehicles whose overall permitted weight exceeds the weight indicated on the sign. A commercial vehicle whose overall permitted weight is lower than the indicated weight may enter. What counts is the vehicle's overall permitted weight, not its actual weight at the moment of driving. The sign does not apply to all types of vehicle, so the option that refers to any vehicle is wrong.
