Prohibition of traffic with motor vehicles other than moped class II
If the prohibition also applies to moped class II, this is indicated on an additional sign.
When You See This Sign
When you see the sign, quickly determine what type of vehicle you are driving. If you are operating a motor vehicle that is not a class II moped, you may not enter; if you are on a class II moped you are generally allowed to pass unless an auxiliary sign indicates they are also prohibited.
Rules & Regulations
- The sign prohibits traffic by motor-driven vehicles except class II mopeds, unless an auxiliary sign indicates otherwise.
- Class I moped, motorcycle, passenger car, truck and other motor vehicles are covered by the prohibition and may not enter where the sign is posted.
- If an auxiliary sign with text or a symbol shows that the ban also applies to class II mopeds, those are also covered by the prohibition.
- The prohibition applies from the location where the sign is posted and remains in effect until it is revoked by a cancellation sign or another clear traffic rule indicating otherwise.
Tips for Drivers
- Always look for an auxiliary sign beneath the sign indicating whether class II mopeds are also prohibited.
- If you are driving a vehicle covered by the prohibition, plan to turn around or take the next safe exit in good time instead of continuing.
- Use a map or GPS to find alternative routes for motor vehicles — such signs are often placed in central pedestrian zones and residential areas.
- Be extra aware of pedestrians and cyclists where the sign is posted, as the area often prioritizes unprotected road users.
Common Mistakes
- Believing that the sign always bans all mopeds — in reality class II mopeds are exempt unless an auxiliary sign states they are also prohibited.
- Confusing the sign with a general ban on all vehicles, including bicycles and pedestrians — the sign concerns motor-driven vehicles.
- Assuming the prohibition automatically ends at the next intersection; the sign applies until it is explicitly revoked or replaced.

Did You Know?
The sign is often used at entrances to pedestrian streets, green areas and narrow residential streets to reduce motor traffic while still allowing slower class II mopeds when appropriate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the prohibition also apply to class II mopeds?
By default class II mopeds are exempt and may pass. If an auxiliary sign under the main sign says 'Also applies to class II mopeds' the prohibition also applies to them.
Are cyclists and pedestrians allowed to pass where the sign is posted?
Yes, the sign prohibits motor-driven vehicles; bicycles and pedestrians are normally not covered by this prohibition. Local regulations may, however, affect access, so be attentive.
If I am riding a class I moped, may I enter?
No, a class I moped is considered a motor vehicle and is covered by the prohibition, so you may not enter where the sign is posted.
How long does the prohibition from the sign apply?
The prohibition applies from the sign's location and continues until it is revoked by a canceling sign or another clear traffic rule. It therefore does not automatically end at the next intersection unless stated.
