Motorcycle Prohibited
Where: Displayed on any public road, at the entrance to pedestrian or separate cycle lanes, or at certain sections of a carriageway where motorcycle access is restricted. This sign may also be found at the beginning of roads or lanes specifically designated for other types of vehicles or for non-motorised traffic.
Purpose: The sign is used to prohibit motorcycles from entering or using a particular section of the road. The restriction is usually implemented for safety reasons, such as areas with high pedestrian or cyclist activity, roads not designed to safely accommodate motorcycles, or freeways and sections of highways where motorcycles may pose a risk to themselves or other vehicles.
Action Required by Driver: If you are riding a motorcycle, do not enter the section of road, lane, or path where this sign is displayed. If this sign appears on a freeway, motorcyclists must exit at the first available off-ramp. Always follow the alternative routes provided or seek other access roads where motorcycles are permitted.
