[Request] How much weight is that truck carrying

This is a [Request] post.

I'm making a bunch of assumptions, so the end result may be off. Please give me corrections! I would love to know more about this stuff.

Let's start by assuming we can see the end of the truck. This distance is approximately 200 meters.

In a meter of road, there are about 6*9=54 flags.

After multiplying the numbers, we get that the truck has about 200*54=10800 flags.

Now, I think a single flag can weigh from 1kg to 2 kg (correct me if I'm wrong! This is different from country to country and I don't live in America), so the total weight comes down to ~15 tons, or ~33000 pounds.
