Summary of important tonnage prohibition signs that you need to know today
Proship Logistics with many years of experience operating in the field of transporting parcels, motorbikes, etc. to North and South by truck will fully update and detail the prohibited tonnage signs NEED TO KNOW:
Prohibition sign for trucks 106a (load capacity 1.5 tons)
According to the new standards, they will take effect from July 1 until now. Sign P.106b is a sign prohibiting trucks, specifically explained as follows:
Sign P.106a means banning all types of trucks with a tonnage of 1.5 tons or more. The license plate is valid for both tractors and specialized motorbikes (except for priority vehicles such as fire trucks). In particular, the transport volume is the total volume of all goods, people and objects on the vehicle. Without calculating the specific volume of that truck.
In Vietnam, pickup trucks with a carrying capacity of less than 1.5 tons and 5 seats are often popular. This type of vehicle will be applied according to new standards, specifically: It is considered a car, so when seeing the P.106a sign, it will not be banned.
Truck ban sign 106b (forbidden load of 2.5 tons)
License plate P.106b will apply to trucks; tractor rescue vehicle; specialized motorbikes with a transport volume according to the Certificate of inspection of technical safety and environmental protection of road motor vehicles. Which is larger/smaller than the certain value written on plate P.106b, regardless of whether the vehicle actually carries goods or not.
Therefore, I want to determine whether the car can be driven or not. Need to base on the transport volume according to your vehicle's Inspection Certificate:
- If it is greater than the value written on the sign, you MAY NOT enter the road with this sign;
- If it is less than or equal to the value written on the sign, you CAN go on this road.
For example, the truck prohibition sign P.106b states that transport loads greater than 2.5 tons are prohibited. That is, if your truck has a transport volume greater than 2.5 tons. You will not be allowed to enter the lane with this sign. Regardless of the truck's own mass.
Sign P.115 (sign prohibiting trucks over 3.5 tons)
According to the provisions in Appendix B of Regulation 41:2016/BGTVT - Meaning - use of prohibited signs. License plate P.115 "Restrict entire vehicle load": To indicate that the road prohibits all types of vehicles (motorized and non-motorized), including vehicles with priority according to regulations, and tank trucks carrying heavy loads of chemicals. The entire vehicle (vehicle's own load plus transport volume) exceeds the value recorded on the passing license plate.
=> Thus, when entering the road there is sign 115 prohibiting the entire vehicle load of 3.5 tons or more. Your vehicle has a load capacity exceeding 3.5 tons. At that time, if you let your vehicle enter this road, you will be fined for exceeding the road's load.
Sign P.116 (sign prohibiting axle load)
Appendix B, Regulation 41:2019/BGTVT on road signs stipulates as follows:
“Appendix B – Meaning – Use of prohibited signs
B.16. License plate P.116 “Limited axle load”
To signal a road that prohibits all types of vehicles (motorized and non-motorized) including priority vehicles according to regulations, with the entire vehicle load (both vehicle and cargo) distributed on any one axle of the vehicle (axle load). (vehicle) exceeds the value recorded on the passing license plate, license plate P.116 "Limiting load on vehicle axle" must be placed.
Article 3 of Regulation 41 of 2019 clearly explains: Axle load is the part of the entire vehicle load distributed on each axle, including: single axle, dual axle assembly, triple axle cluster.
=> Thus, based on these two regulations, ban sign P.116 is a sign prohibiting vehicles with a total tonnage distributed on any axle of the vehicle exceeding the value recorded on this sign. For example, when sign P.116 limits the axle load to 7 tons, if your vehicle has a total tonnage of 9 tons, it will not be allowed to enter.

How to distinguish and the importance of signs prohibiting loads and total loads
How to properly distinguish the sign prohibiting load and total load? This is also a question of many drivers, so Proship will answer as follows:
- The vehicle's own mass is the vehicle's own mass in a static state. Measured in kg or tons, regardless of the number of people in the vehicle and the amount of goods in the vehicle.
- The allowable total vehicle tonnage is equal to the vehicle's own tonnage plus the allowable transport volume determined according to the Inspection Certificate. Different from vehicle load, which refers to the amount of goods in the vehicle.
How to distinguish between load prohibition signs and total load
From the above concepts, we have 2 types of plates that need to be accurately distinguished between Plate Number P.106b and Plate P.115:
- License plate number P.106b:
License plate P.106b will prohibit trucks; tractors; specialized motorbikes. Which has a transport volume according to the Certificate of technical safety inspection and road watering vehicle to protect the environment as a road motor vehicle. Which is greater than a certain value written on plate P.106b.
- Sign P.115:
According to Article 3 of Regulation 41 of 2019, it is clearly explained: The total vehicle load (total tonnage) is equal to the weight of the vehicle itself plus the weight of people, luggage and goods loaded on the vehicle (if any).
In short, License Plate P.115 "Restrict entire vehicle load" (also known as total load): Prohibits all types of vehicles (motorized and rudimentary). Even vehicles with priority according to regulations. That has a total load exceeding the value recorded on the passing sign.
Benefits and importance of signs prohibiting loads and total loads
Prohibited load and total load signs bring many benefits and play a role in:
- Protecting transportation infrastructure: Transportation infrastructure such as roads, bridges, and tunnels are protected from damage due to excessive loads;
- Ensuring traffic safety: Helps keep road traffic safe by restricting vehicles from exceeding the load capacity of roads, bridges and infrastructure;
- Reduce the risk of traffic accidents and incidents: Using ban signs reduces the risk of traffic accidents and incidents due to overloading;
- Comply with regulations and reduce road loads: Complying with road load regulations helps maintain roads in good condition, prolongs road life and reduces negative impacts on the environment.
