PassAgricultural Vehicles Prohibited
Where: This sign is displayed on any public road, lane, path, or designated area where agricultural vehicles (such as tractors, harvesters, or farm machinery) are not permitted. It is commonly found at the entrance to urban areas, residential zones, or city centres; on narrow roads or bridges not designed for slow-moving or heavy agricultural vehicles; in pedestrian-heavy streets, business districts, or environmentally sensitive zones; and on highways or freeways where slow agricultural traffic could disrupt the flow of faster vehicles.
Purpose: The purpose of this sign is to prohibit agricultural vehicles from entering a specific section of the road. This restriction helps to enhance road safety by preventing slow-moving or heavy machinery from interfering with other traffic, maintain traffic flow in busy or urban areas, protect infrastructure such as roads, pavements, and bridges from potential damage caused by heavy farm equipment, and ensure compliance with designated agricultural vehicle routes and local transport regulations.
Action Required by Driver: If you are driving or operating an agricultural vehicle, do not proceed beyond this sign. Use alternative routes approved for agricultural vehicle movement, and check for supplementary signs that may indicate time restrictions or permitted access under special conditions. Note: Agricultural vehicles include tractors, harvesters, ploughing machines, and other farm machinery, whether self-propelled or towed, used for agricultural purposes.
