The UK Government seem to think an HGV starts at 3.5t GVW, not 7.5t. By those standards, hgv=no is not a correct transposition of the sign with a lorry+weight(7.5t) symbol. Nor is maxweight=7.5 (I think) because it only applies to goods vehicles - not buses/coaches for example (correct me if I'm wrong!)
I also get the impression that a semitrailer is considered part of the towing vehicle whereas a drawbar trailer is considered a separate vehicle.
