A Truck scale (US), weighbridge (non-US) or railroad scale is a large set of scales, usually mounted permanently on a concrete foundation, that is used to weigh entire rail or road vehicles and their contents. By weighing the vehicle both empty and when loaded, the load carried by the vehicle can be calculated.
Some countries (e.g. Tanzania) use them on permanent highway checkpoints to check trucks because of overloading.
See weighbridge on Wikipedia.
Can be a node on a highway or tagged on a short piece of way (but keep the highway tag).
