Regulatory Signs

Understanding the Motor Cars / Vehicles Prohibited Sign

Motor Cars / Vehicles Prohibited

Where: This sign is displayed on any public road, lane, path, or designated area where the entry or use of motorcars and similar motor vehicles is not permitted. It is commonly found at pedestrian zones or shared public spaces, cycle lanes or recreational paths, restricted residential areas, or private or environmentally sensitive zones where motor traffic is controlled.

Purpose: The purpose of this sign is to prohibit motorcars or motor vehicles from entering or travelling beyond the point where the sign is displayed. This restriction is often enforced to ensure pedestrian and cyclist safety, reduce noise or air pollution, preserve infrastructure not designed for motor traffic, or maintain restricted or controlled zones such as parks, promenades, or event areas.

Action Required by Driver: If you are driving a motorcar or any motorised vehicle, do not proceed beyond this sign. Use an alternative route designated for motor vehicles. Be aware that entering a restricted zone may result in fines or penalties.
