Tricky road sign with crossed out letter E: what does it mean

Ukrainian drivers, when traveling abroad, may come across an unusual road sign - a round sign with a red frame and a white field, where the crossed-out letter "E" is depicted. Its interpretation varies depending on the country, writes mauto.

In Europe, such a sign is often installed in front of tunnels, and it restricts the movement of heavy goods vehicles (8 tons and more) and vehicles with hazardous materials on board. But in South American countries, for example, in Chile or Mexico, this sign is interpreted in a completely different way. There he marks places where it is forbidden to park cars.

For drivers traveling abroad, it is important to pay attention to local regulations, as the same signs may have different interpretations depending on the region.
