This road is closed in both directions. You may not enter with a vehicle, not even by bicycle or moped. The sign is white with a red border.
Official text (RVV 1990, translated)
“Closed in both directions to vehicles, riders and people leading riding animals, draught animals or livestock”
What you need to know
- The sign also applies when you are cycling or riding a moped. By law, bicycles and mopeds are vehicles too. art. 1
- On foot you may enter the street: the sign does not mention pedestrians. annex 1, C1
- Is there a sub-sign underneath with "uitgezonderd" (except) and, for example, a bicycle? Then the sign does not apply to cyclists. art. 67
