PassBuses Prohibited
Where: This sign is displayed on any public road, lane, path, or designated area where buses are not allowed to enter or operate. It may be placed at the entrance to restricted residential or business zones, on lanes or roads reserved for smaller vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists, in city centres, narrow streets, or pedestrian-heavy areas, or near schools, parks, or construction zones where large vehicles could pose safety risks.
Purpose: The purpose of this sign is to prohibit buses from entering or using a particular section of the road. This restriction is typically enforced to enhance safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users, reduce congestion in busy or narrow areas, protect infrastructure such as bridges, tunnels, or roads not designed for heavy vehicles, and regulate traffic flow by directing buses to approved routes or designated bus lanes.
Action Required by Driver: If you are driving a bus, do not proceed beyond this sign. Use alternative routes that are designated or approved for buses. Observe any supplementary signs indicating specific times, conditions, or exemptions (e.g., local access or school transport). Failing to comply with this sign may result in fines, penalties, or enforcement action.
