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.
