Under what condition may you use DANGEROUS placards instead of separate placards for each Table 2 hazard class?

Using DANGEROUS placards instead of separate placards for each Table 2 hazard class is allowed under specific conditions that relate to the weight and types of hazardous materials being transported. When the total amount of any Table 2 hazard class material is less than 2,205 pounds, it is acceptable to use DANGEROUS placards. This simplifies the placarding process, as it reduces the number of signs required on the vehicle while still ensuring safety and compliance with regulations.

This option benefits drivers and carriers by making it easier to manage and identify dangerous goods without the complexity of multiple placards, as long as they remain within the specified weight limit. Other options involve either a maximum weight that is inaccurate, a limitation in the number of hazard classes that does not meet the regulatory framework, or incorrectly assuming that seeing multiple classes always requires multiple placards, which overlooks the regulation's stipulations regarding combined loading weights.
