All three signs in the image prohibit the access of vehicles with a width greater than 2.30 m, but in different ways:
Sign 1 (“Traffic prohibited in both directions”) prohibits the access of all vehicles, regardless of size or type. Therefore, automatically the access of those with a width over 2.3 m is also prohibited.
Sign 2 is specific: it prohibits the access of only vehicles with a width greater than 2.30 m, therefore it applies strictly depending on the gauge.
Sign 3 prohibits the access of motor vehicles (that is, any vehicle with a motor intended for traveling on the road) and animal-drawn vehicles. Therefore, if a motor vehicle has a width greater than 2.30 m, its access is anyway prohibited by the fact that it is a motor vehicle, regardless of width. It does not mean that sign 3 regulates the width, but that wider vehicles than 2.30 m, if they are motor vehicles or animal-drawn, fall anyway under its prohibition.
Therefore, even if only sign 2 refers directly to width, all three signs have the effect of prohibiting the access of vehicles wider than 2.30 m, which is why all answer options are correct.
The correct answer is: A, B and C
