Vehicles exceeding 6′-6” in width indicated prohibited
A red circle with a vehicle silhouette and the width limit. Lorries, wide vans, transporters and recovery vehicles are too wide to pass. The restriction is enforced by physical bollards or a chicane just past the sign — don't ignore it expecting clearance.
