One-ton truck

I find this traffic sign very... strange. It's positioned at the entrance to the parking area of the KwikSpar featured in yesterday's post. I initially thought that it meant that trucks weighing more than 1 ton could not use the road. But the problem I have is that my car (and in fact, many cars) weighs significantly more than 1 ton.

This leaves me wondering - do they mean that trucks with more than 1 ton of cargo aren't allowed? I'm not sure. This is an odd sign indeed.
