No Goods Vehicles Over Indicated GVM road sign (R230)

The No Goods Vehicles Over Indicated GVM road sign (R230) is a regulatory prohibition sign used to indicate that goods vehicles exceeding the stated gross vehicle mass (GVM) are not permitted beyond the sign. It is used to protect infrastructure and improve safety where heavy vehicle access creates risk.
