Around the world
In most countries, heavy goods vehicles are goods vehicles (goods=*) with a maximum allowed weight (maxweightrating=*) above 3.5 tonnes.
The maximum allowed weight, also known as the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) or gross vehicle mass (GVM) is the maximum permitted weight of the vehicle at full load, as specified by the manufacturer. Note that not all countries (explicitly) differentiate between light and heavy goods vehicles. Also, many countries do not follow the UNECE resolution on vehicle classes (see Vehicle categories) and establish a different weight than 3.5 (metric) tonnes:
- Australia: 4.5 tonnes[1]
- Bolivia: a load capacity of 2.5 tonnes[2]
- Japan: maximum allowed weight ≥8 tonnes or load capacity ≥5 tonnes; for regulating smaller trucks, additional signs based on load capacity are used (see below).
United States
In the United States, including Puerto Rico, hgv=designated and hgv=no tags should be consistent with local regulations that refer to medium- and heavy-duty trucks, as expressed by signs that include the word "Trucks" or a 
icon:
Use both goods=* and hgv=* to represent signs saying "commercial vehicles".
Some data consumers may need to interpret hgv=* based on the physical characteristics of the user's vehicle. Under federal law, a medium- or heavy-duty truck is defined as one that weighs at least 10,001 pounds (4,536 kg) GVWR and has at least six tires.[3][4]

|
hgv=no |
   
|
maxlength=10
Even though a goods vehicle is depicted, usually the sign applies to all vehicles. Otherwise, it would be maxlength:hgv=10. |
   
|
access=no |
 
|
hgv=designated |
   
|
Use maxweightrating:hgv=*
This is not a weight restriction (like |
|
Belgium only.
goods:conditional=no @ (weight>2.0) and hgv:conditional=no @ (weight>2.0) No entry for drivers of motor vehicles and combination vehicles designed and constructed for the transport of goods above a specific weight. The maximum mass is indicated by a sign underneath. |
|
In Japan, truck signs only regulate much larger trucks (see above); additional signs with a kanji character "積", which means load, are very common for regulating smaller trucks.
hgv=no Note that the mass indicated is the load capacity registered for the vehicle, and not the current load, the total weight, nor the maximum allowed weight. |

Lanes
 (Russia) |
If used in 1 line:
lanes=3 lanes:forward=2 lanes:backward=1 hgv:lanes:forward=no|yes If road mapped as two oneways (due to physical separation), use following tags on the right oneway northbound: lanes=2 hgv:lanes=no|yes |
 (Portugal) |
lanes=3 hgv:lanes=no|yes|yes |
Possible synonyms
which is mostly used in combination with amenity=* and motorcar=*, i.e. for shops, car wash, service stations etc.
