PassGoods Vehicles Prohibited
Where: This sign is displayed on any public road, lane, path, or designated area where goods vehicles (such as trucks, lorries, or delivery vans) are not permitted to enter or operate. It is typically found at the entrance to residential neighbourhoods, city centres, or business districts where heavy vehicle access is restricted; on roads or bridges that are structurally unsuitable for heavy loads; in pedestrian or environmentally sensitive zones; or on lanes or carriageways reserved for passenger vehicles or public transport only.
Purpose: The purpose of this sign is to prohibit goods vehicles from entering the specified area. This restriction helps to enhance road safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and smaller vehicles, reduce noise, pollution, and congestion caused by large or heavy vehicles, protect infrastructure that may not be designed to handle the weight or size of goods vehicles, and regulate traffic flow so that goods vehicles follow approved or designated routes for loading and delivery.
Action Required by Driver: If you are driving a goods vehicle, do not proceed beyond this sign. Use alternative roads or designated truck routes that allow goods vehicle access, and watch for supplementary signs that may specify times, weight limits, or exemptions for local deliveries or authorised vehicles. Ignoring this restriction may lead to fines, penalties, or enforcement actions.
