You are driving an agricultural tractor. Are you allowed to drive onto the road beyond these prohibitory signs?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, at the entrance to a road paved with paving blocks, there is sign B-33 "speed limit" (30 km/h) and under it B-5 "no entry for lorries"; further on you can see a pedestrian crossing and a board with the inscription "Droga pożarowa" (fire access road). You are not allowed to enter here with an agricultural tractor - the answer is NO.
Sign B-5, despite the picture of a lorry, bans the traffic not only of lorries with a maximum permissible mass over 3.5 t, but also of road tractors, special vehicles over 3.5 t, slow-moving vehicles and agricultural tractors. The 30 km/h speed limit does not change anything here - it is a separate sign that applies to the vehicles allowed onto this road. You could enter with a tractor only if a plate under the sign provided for an exception, or if you were doing cleaning, repair or modernisation work on this road, using yellow flashing lights and exercising particular caution. It is worth remembering: B-5 also closes the road to a tractor, even though it is not shown on the sign.
Legal basis: § 18 para. 4 point 4 and § 33 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
