One sign (with the picture of the lorry) talks about "goods vehicles", the other (top-left of next page with "Weak Bridge") refers to "vehicles". I expect that a bus is not classed as a goods vehicle even though it weighs typically 10-15T. Same for (army) tanks etc - I don't expect these to be classed as goods vehicles.
