Does the visible sign indicate that vehicles with a height (including cargo) greater than 3 metres are prohibited from traffic?

In the video, you are approaching a passage under a brick building with arched gateways; on the right there is a round sign with a red border and the text "3.0 m" - B-16. The visible sign means that vehicles whose height, including the load, is greater than 3 metres are prohibited. The answer is: yes.

The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-16 "no entry for vehicles over ... m in height" means that vehicles whose height, including the load, is greater than the value shown on the sign are prohibited. The sign is placed before low passages: gateways, flyovers, tunnels, tree branches - where a taller vehicle would catch on the structure. Two words are important: "including the load". What counts is not the height of the car from the vehicle registration certificate, but the actual height of the whole vehicle together with what you are carrying on the roof - a roof box, bicycles, boards. A passenger car is about 1.5 m high, so under the "3.0 m" sign it will pass without a problem even with a roof rack; for a minibus with a sleeping cab or a car with a kayak on the roof you already need to calculate. The similar sign B-15, with the triangles placed horizontally, applies to width.

Legal basis: § 20 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
