I recently spotted a sign that is new to me and I can't see it in the online highway code.
Blue oblong with the white silhouette of a lorry and a diagonal red line corner to corner

No writing

Am I correct in thinking that it means the same as the current "ignore your sat navigation and don't come down here " sign.minus the satellite picture or is it something else ?

Assuming not on a motorway, a blue rectangular sign is information, right?


is recommended route for cyclists.

So crossed-out truck would be "not recommended for truck use". A notch down from "no entry except for access/loading"



The next question is whether it's a REAL sign, or just one that a pissed off resident has had made and put there...

"Unsuitable for heavy goods vehicles" - some signs must miss the lettering off.

That's the one but without the writing as you suggest.

Yeah, got these without the writing on the A814 up here recently.

I usually drive down roads with these signs thinking, "yep, sure is smile )

Do you remember when that road had a white centre line?!
I'll be along there tomorrow, again smileSometimes I'm at the jetty and sometimes at the other place.
A previous job meant getting generators to new mobile phone masts, often up mountainous dirt roads or across fields, interesting stuff smile
