68. We recommend the sign at figure 18.
69. If the criterion for the exclusion expressed by this very wordy sign is weight, it could be achieved by the sign at figure 20 meaning 'no entry for vehicles exceeding - tons laden weight', or by the sign shown at figure 21 indicating 'no entry for vehicles having an axle weight exceeding — tons'. But if it is width, we recommend the sign at figure 22 which means 'no entry for vehicles having overall width exceeding — feet'. Either sign would need to be supplemented when appropriate by the plate at figure 17a stating 'Unless requiring access to premises'.
70. We recommend use of the sign at figure 16 in conjunction with the plate at figure 16a.
71. This should be indicated by the sign at figure 20.
72. Again we recommend the sign at figure 20 but supplemented by the plate at figure 20a.
73. This should be indicated by the sign at figure 29 together with the plate at figure 29a.
74. We have given our proposals for these signs in our section on waiting restriction and parking signs (paragraphs 83 to 87).
75. We recommend the sign at figure 19.
76. This sign has been used in the past where the speed limit is imposed by the local authority as distinct from the general speed limit on restricted roads imposed by the Road Traffic Acts. We see no reason in principle to make this distinction which is in any case of very rare application, and we recommend that all speed limits, however imposed, be indicated by the sign at figure 27. The 30, 40 and 50 m.p.h. limits are already indicated in this form. The point at which a road ceases to be subject to a maximum speed limit should invariably be indicated by the sign at figure 28.
