Prohibitive or Restrictive Signs

Prohibitive and restrictive signs will be circular in shape with a white, yellow, or blue background. The signs will mark maximum speed limits, prohibited entry, no-parking zones, and cases where certain vehicle types are not allowed. These signs will also post restrictions to driving including no overtaking or passing as well as no-entry one way streets. In cases where a travel zone is defined, such as a zone prohibiting a certain vehicle type, you will see the same sign with a line crossing it, to note the end of the restricted travel zone. It is important to follow the instructions of the signs to avoid accidents, fines, and blocking traffic.

Examples of prohibitive and restrictive signs:

Approaching road will have a minimum traveling speed zone, as indicated on the sign.

The minimum speed limit zone has ended.

Vehicles are not allowed into the approaching area.

No entry is permitted, usually due to approaching one-way traffic.

No parking is permitted in the advised zone.

Vehicles in advised zone cannot stop, stand, or park.
