Regulatory Signs

Understanding the Abnormal Vehicles Only Sign

Abnormal Vehicles Only

Where: In areas where mining, industrial, or large-scale construction activities are taking place, including quarries, heavy industrial zones, or roads leading to specialized transport routes.

Purpose: To indicate that the road or a specific portion of the road is reserved exclusively for abnormal vehicles — typically oversized or over-mass vehicles that do not conform to standard vehicle dimensions or weight limits, such as large machinery, heavy equipment, or exceptionally long trailers. This restriction ensures that these vehicles can move safely without interfering with regular traffic, while also protecting road infrastructure from potential damage caused by their size and weight.

Action Required by Driver: Only the driver of an abnormal vehicle may use this road or designated portion of the road. All other vehicles are prohibited from entering or using this section, and unauthorized use may result in fines, penalties, or enforcement actions to ensure safety and compliance.

Rickshaws Only

Where: In areas with a high concentration of tourist attractions, such as city centres, parks, promenades, or other locations frequented by visitors.

Purpose: To indicate that the road or a specific portion of the road is reserved exclusively for the use of rickshaws. This ensures safe and efficient movement for rickshaw operators and tourists, while minimizing interference with other types of traffic and improving pedestrian safety in busy tourist zones.

Action Required by Driver: Only the person pulling a rickshaw may use this road or designated section of the road. All other vehicles or pedestrians must avoid using this area, and non-compliance may result in penalties or enforcement action to maintain safety and proper traffic management.

Tour Buses Only

Where: In areas with tourist attractions, or at transport hubs such as stations, airports, or designated drop-off and pick-up zones.

Purpose: To indicate that the road or a specific portion of the road is reserved exclusively for tour buses. This ensures the safe and efficient movement of large passenger buses transporting tourists, reduces congestion, and provides a clear and organized system for boarding and alighting passengers.

Action Required by Driver: Only the driver of a tour bus may use this road or the designated section of the road. Other vehicles are prohibited from entering or travelling on this portion, and unauthorized use may result in fines or other enforcement actions to maintain traffic order and safety.
