Prohibition of Traffic with Moped Class II
If the prohibition also applies to traffic with Moped Class I, it is indicated on an additional sign.
When You See This Sign
When you see the sign, as a driver of moped class II you must not enter the road or area where the sign is posted. If you are driving another vehicle, observe whether there is a supplementary plate that extends the prohibition or specifies times; if so, follow the additional information.
Rules & Regulations
- The sign prohibits traffic with moped class II (moped designed for a maximum speed of 25 km/h) from entering the road or area where the sign is posted.
- The prohibition applies until it is revoked by an end-of-restriction sign or another traffic sign that changes the situation, or until a supplementary plate indicates otherwise.
- If the prohibition is also to include moped class I, this is shown by a supplementary plate beneath the main sign; without such a supplementary plate the prohibition applies only to moped class II.
- Other road user groups (e.g. cars, motorcycles, cyclists and pedestrians) are not covered by this specific prohibition unless there is additional signage indicating otherwise.
Tips for Drivers
- As a driver of moped class II: stop and choose another permitted route when you encounter the sign; do not continue past the sign.
- Always look for a supplementary plate under the sign — it may indicate that the ban also applies to other vehicles or that it is time-limited.
- As a car driver: be aware that moped riders may brake suddenly or turn off at the last moment when they notice the prohibition; keep distance and reduce speed if necessary.
- On cycle and pedestrian paths where the sign is posted it may be there to reduce disturbances or protect vulnerable road users — respect the prohibition for a safer traffic environment.
Common Mistakes
- Believing that the sign automatically prohibits all mopeds (both class I and II) without checking for a supplementary plate.
- Confusing the sign with a ban on motor traffic or a ban on bicycle traffic; the symbol and text specifically refer to moped class II.
- Thinking that the sign prohibits pedestrian traffic or parking in the area — it applies only to riding a moped class II unless otherwise indicated.

The sign is often used in residential areas, pedestrian-priority zones and nature trails where slower traffic or no motor vehicles of that type are desired to increase safety and reduce noise.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the prohibition also apply to moped class I?
No, not automatically. If the prohibition is also to include moped class I, it must be indicated on a supplementary plate under the main sign.
What counts as moped class II?
Moped class II is a moped designed for a maximum speed of 25 km/h, often the slower type used in built-up areas. It differs from moped class I, which is normally designed for a higher speed (up to 45 km/h).
As a cyclist or pedestrian, am I allowed to use the road where the sign is posted?
Yes, cyclists and pedestrians are not covered by this specific prohibition unless special signage indicates otherwise. The sign is directed only at moped class II.
Can residents or delivery vehicles be exempt from the prohibition?
Any exemptions must be explicitly indicated with a supplementary plate or local regulations. Without such a marking, the prohibition applies to all moped class II riders.
