82. No vehicles
No vehicles indicates that vehicles are prohibited from entering the road, street or area beyond the sign. Unlike a one-way no-entry restriction, the prohibition normally applies to traffic approaching from both directions.
The exact road users covered by the restriction can vary between countries. Depending on local law, bicycles, mopeds, animal-drawn vehicles or other road users may also be prohibited. Supplementary signs may provide exceptions for residents, deliveries, cyclists, public transport or other authorised traffic.

What does Dutch sign C1 prohibit?
C1 closes the road in both directions to vehicles, horse riders and people leading riding or draught animals or livestock. It is not merely a one-way no-entry sign.
Is Dutch sign C1 the same as C2?
No. C2 marks a one-way road closed to traffic approaching from that direction; C1 indicates the specified two-way access prohibition. Check supplementary signs for exceptions.
