PassTowed Vehicles Prohibited
Where: This sign is displayed on any public road, lane, path, or designated area where vehicles towing another vehicle or trailer are not permitted. Common locations include narrow roads, bridges, or tunnels where towing could obstruct traffic or pose a safety hazard; city centres or busy urban streets where manoeuvring a towed vehicle is difficult; pedestrian zones, parks, or commercial districts where towing could endanger pedestrians; and steep or winding roads where towing may increase the risk of accidents.
Purpose: The purpose of this sign is to prohibit vehicles towing trailers or other vehicles from entering a specific area. This restriction is enforced to ensure the safety of all road users, including drivers, passengers, and pedestrians, prevent accidents caused by restricted manoeuvrability of towed vehicles in tight or busy areas, maintain smooth traffic flow and avoid congestion caused by slower or wider vehicles, and protect infrastructure such as roads, bridges, or tunnels from potential damage caused by long or heavy towed vehicles.
Action Required by Driver: If you are towing another vehicle or trailer, do not proceed beyond this sign. Use alternative routes designated for vehicles with trailers or towed loads, and be alert for supplementary signs that may indicate time restrictions, permitted exceptions, or alternative access points. Note: This prohibition applies to all types of towed vehicles, including trailers, caravans, boats on trailers, and vehicles being towed by another vehicle.
