Prohibitive or Restrictive Signs


Prohibitive and restrictive signs will be circular in shape with a white, yellow, or blue background. The signs will mark maximum speed limits, prohibited entry, no-parking zones, and cases where certain vehicle types are not allowed. These signs will also post restrictions to driving including no overtaking or passing as well as no-entry one way streets. In cases where a travel zone is defined, such as a zone prohibiting a certain vehicle type, you will see the same sign with a line crossing it, to note the end of the restricted travel zone. It is important to follow the instructions of the signs to avoid accidents, fines, and blocking traffic.

Examples of prohibitive and restrictive signs:

Minimum Speed Limit Approaching road will have a minimum traveling speed zone, as indicated on the sign.
End Minimum Speed The minimum speed limit zone has ended.
No Motor Vehicles Vehicles are not allowed into the approaching area.
Do Not Enter No entry is permitted, usually due to approaching one-way traffic.
No Parking No parking is permitted in the advised zone.
No Stopping Vehicles in advised zone cannot stop, stand, or park.
