<div>it may depend on the area, but around here restrictions
relating to actual weight are rather rare, because they are
impractical to verify, while weight ratings can be seen in the
vehicle documents and are easy to check.<br>

<p>Public and private weigh brides exist in Australia, portable and
fixed ones are used by the roads authority to check vehicles are
not overloaded. So these are both practical,do exist and get used.
Weigh limits on bridges are like speed limits, so there is a legal
obligation to know the actual weigh or at least that the weight is
well below the limit for the bridge. <br>

<p> In the UK weigh bridges are not unusual at suppliers to
document the weight of goods supplied along with checking the
vehicles maximum weight is not exceeded. <br>
