Traffic rules
Bosnia and Herzegovina
1. Weight limit
A weight limit prohibits vehicles or vehicle combinations whose mass exceeds the value shown from entering or passing a road section, bridge, tunnel or other structure. Depending on local law, the restriction may concern the vehicle’s actual loaded mass, maximum authorised mass or load on an individual axle.
Drivers must know which type of mass the sign refers to and must include the vehicle, passengers, cargo and any trailer where required. A vehicle that exceeds the limit must use another suitable route.
Does every weight-limit sign measure the same kind of vehicle weight in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
The sign rules distinguish II-24, restricting total vehicle mass, from axle and tandem-axle restrictions. A goods-vehicle prohibition can instead specify maximum permissible mass. Read the actual symbol and measure rather than treating every weight-related restriction as the same rule.

Do cargo and trailers matter for a posted weight restriction in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Cargo and passengers affect total mass and axle loads; a trailer can also affect the applicable vehicle or combination restriction. Read the actual control. A goods-vehicle prohibition expressed by maximum permissible mass is different from a total-mass or axle restriction, so removing cargo alone may not remove that prohibition.

What should you do if your vehicle exceeds a bridge weight limit in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
Do not drive onto the bridge. Follow the signed alternative route and check the vehicle’s gross and axle loads as applicable. A general heavy-vehicle permit does not automatically authorise crossing every restricted bridge.
