Prohibited entry signs are placed at the entrance of a road where entry is forbidden or at the exit of a one-way road. The sign features a red background with a white horizontal bar in the middle. It indicates that all vehicles and pedestrians are prohibited from passing and is placed near the entrance of a prohibited road. The 'No Entry' sign means that vehicles are not allowed to enter. Additional information: The 'No Motor Vehicles' sign indicates that all types of motor vehicles are prohibited from passing. It is placed at the entrance of a road where motor vehicles are prohibited. If there are special regulations regarding time or vehicle types, auxiliary signs should be used to explain. The 'No Trucks' sign indicates that trucks are prohibited from passing. It is placed at the entrance of a road where trucks are prohibited. If there are weight restrictions for the trucks allowed to pass, auxiliary signs should be used to explain, such as 'No Small Trucks Allowed.'

I once encountered this situation while driving - that red circular sign with a white horizontal bar in the middle means all vehicles and pedestrians are prohibited from entering. I remember it vividly when I almost turned into a highway entrance with this sign due to a navigation error, which gave me quite a scare. This sign indicates complete road closure ahead, possibly due to construction, accident scenes or danger zones - absolutely must not proceed. I've developed the habit of being extra cautious whenever I see circular red-bordered signs, as they represent the highest level of prohibition. Ten years of driving experience tells me there are often cameras near such signs - the fine for violation would be the least concern, the real danger is causing an accident.

Last week while crossing the street with my child, I happened to see a red circle with a diagonal slash sign at the intersection and immediately seized the opportunity to explain it. This red-and-white circular sign clearly indicates no entry for anyone, including bicycles and wheelchairs. When teaching traffic signs to children, I always emphasize the danger of such prohibition signs—they typically appear in extremely hazardous areas like bridge repairs, tunnel accidents, or chemical leaks. I remember during our neighborhood fire drill, firefighters repeatedly stressed that upon seeing this sign, one must retreat unconditionally without any thought of taking chances.

As daily road workers, we're all too familiar with this white circle with red diagonal slash. It's mandatory at construction roadblocks - more effective than any barrier. Once during emergency cable repairs on a rainy night, an e-bike almost crashed despite this warning. This prohibition sign indicates risks like electrocution, collapse, or falling hazards ahead. Professional maintenance crews know to avoid 50-meter radii. Municipal departments deploy it cautiously, usually with police coordination.
