PassDelivery Vehicles Prohibited
Where: This sign is displayed on any public road, lane, path, or designated area where delivery vehicles are not permitted to enter or operate. Common locations include pedestrian zones, shopping streets, or urban centres where delivery traffic could interfere with pedestrian safety; residential areas with restricted vehicle access; lanes or roads reserved for private vehicles, public transport, or non-motorised traffic; and sensitive zones such as parks, schools, or construction areas where heavy or frequent delivery vehicles could pose risks.
Purpose: The purpose of this sign is to prohibit delivery vehicles from entering a specific road, lane, or area. The restriction is usually in place to ensure safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and other road users, reduce congestion caused by frequent stops or manoeuvring of delivery vehicles, protect infrastructure such as roads, sidewalks, or bridges that may not support heavy or large vehicles, and maintain traffic flow in areas where access for delivery vehicles could disrupt operations.
Action Required by Driver: If you are driving a delivery vehicle, do not proceed beyond this sign. Use alternative routes or designated delivery zones where access is permitted, and pay attention to supplementary signs that may indicate specific times, conditions, or exemptions for local deliveries. Failure to comply with this sign may result in fines, penalties, or enforcement action.
