There are several alternatives already in use for that situation but after researching taginfo I decided to go with

amenity=weigh_station for the node (or way) where the weighing device is and

service=weigh_station for the segment of service road associated with it.

As an American the term weigh_station seems more popular than either weigh_bridge or weightbridge. Note too, that all those choices are in use with and without the underscore character connecting the two words.

YMMV,

according to taginfo, under amenity you'll find

weighbridge=541 weigh_station=22 weigh_bridge=10 weightbridge=6 weighing_station=2

so the usage seems to favour weighbridge.

amenity=weighbridge also has a wiki page, which documents the current use.
