PassHawkers Prohibited
Where: This sign is displayed on public roads, intersections, or areas where road visibility is limited. Typical locations include narrow streets where parked vehicles or stationary hawkers could obstruct traffic; near intersections or pedestrian crossings where vision is critical for safety; areas with heavy traffic where stopping for hawkers could cause congestion; and zones where parked vehicles or hawkers may interfere with a driver's line of sight.
Purpose: The purpose of this sign is to prohibit hawkers — people selling goods or services from stationary positions — on the road or adjacent areas. This restriction is enforced to enhance road safety by ensuring drivers have a clear view of traffic, pedestrians, and other vehicles, prevent congestion caused by vehicles stopping for hawkers, reduce the risk of accidents at intersections or narrow streets, and maintain smooth traffic flow in high-risk areas.
Action Required by Driver: Do not stop, park, or attempt to purchase goods from hawkers in areas where this sign is displayed. Be aware that this restriction applies at all times, day or night, and respect the sign to avoid fines, penalties, or enforcement action. Drivers should remain vigilant for pedestrians attempting to sell goods, even if hawkers are prohibited, and take care to avoid accidents. Note: The sign applies to all hawkers, including those selling food, merchandise, or services, and is designed primarily to protect road safety and traffic flow.
