6. Any Contracting State or subdivision thereof may limit or prohibit the operation of motor vehicles upon any designated road to which this annex shall apply or impose restrictions as to the 'weight of vehicles to be operated upon any such road for a limited period, when ever any such road by reason of deterioration, heavy rain, snow, thawing or other unfavourable climatic conditions would be seriously damaged by vehicles of the weights normally permitted.
