PassConstruction Vehicles Prohibited
Where: This sign is displayed on any public road, lane, path, or designated area where construction vehicles are not permitted to enter or operate. It is commonly found at the entrances to residential neighbourhoods, city centres, or business districts where heavy vehicle movement is restricted; on roads or bridges that cannot safely accommodate large or heavy construction vehicles; in pedestrian areas, school zones, or environmentally sensitive locations; and at completed construction sites or restricted access zones where such vehicles are no longer allowed.
Purpose: The purpose of this sign is to prohibit construction vehicles (such as excavators, graders, tippers, concrete mixers, or other heavy machinery) from proceeding beyond the point where the sign is displayed. This restriction helps to protect public safety by preventing large, slow-moving vehicles from entering busy or narrow roads, preserve infrastructure that may not be designed to support heavy equipment, reduce road wear, dust, and noise pollution in sensitive or residential areas, and control access so that only authorised vehicles operate within designated work zones.
Action Required by Driver: If you are driving or operating a construction vehicle, do not proceed beyond this sign. Use alternative access routes or designated haul roads approved for construction traffic, and look out for supplementary signs that may specify time restrictions, permit requirements, or temporary access allowances. Non-compliance with this restriction may result in fines, penalties, or site access suspension.
- Do not proceed — construction vehicles may not pass beyond the sign.
- Use approved haul roads — stick to access routes designated for construction traffic.
- Check for supplementary signs — these may show time restrictions or permit requirements.
