A couple of things: - Guernsey, Jersey & other Channel Islands are not part of the United Kingdom, or for many purposes the EU, so their laws are their own concern. (Confusingly they have both ISO country codes & ISO region codes as part of GB : depending on your usage you may wish to treat them as UK or independent) - ISO units have been used for restriction signage for a long time (as for maxheight, but there dual signage in feet & inches continues). As the metric tonne is close to the imperial ton I presume that confusion was not a significant issue. Most widespread limits are 3.5t, 7.5t (e.g., in Leicestershire to discourage goods vehicles from residential & minor roads), and various limits on bridges for safety/avoiding maintenance issues.
