Its for the 7.5 ton limit, you will see in the road just before it a large metal strip going across the the up side only, this I would assume is a weigh scales of some sort. Stupid thing is you only have to drive your over 7.5 ton truck in the middle of the road so the offside wheels miss the scales & you cant get caught !
