Art. 18 OSR · General Traffic Prohibitions

The signal "General prohibition of traffic in both directions" (2.01) indicates that traffic is, in principle, prohibited in both directions for all vehicles.

When, at an intersection, access to a road is blocked by the signal "General prohibition of traffic in both directions," but an exit is still possible to a limited extent (e.g., for local residents), the priority of exiting vehicles will be canceled by the signals "Stop" (3.01) or "Yield" (3.02).

The signal "No entry" (2.02) indicates that no vehicles are allowed to pass, but traffic in the opposite direction is permitted. At the other end of the road, the signal "One way" (4.08) will be placed.

The signals "General prohibition of traffic in both directions" and "No entry" do not apply to: a. handcarts with a maximum width of 1 m; b. baby carriages; c. non-motorized wheelchairs; d. motorized wheelchairs and electric scooters, provided they are used by persons with reduced mobility; e. bicycles, provided they are being pushed; f. mopeds, provided their engine is turned off and they are being pushed; g. two-wheeled motorcycles, provided their engine is turned off and they are being pushed.

If access to a road is prohibited by the signal "No entry" (2.02), the authority provides an exception for bicycles and mopeds, unless lack of space or other reasons prevent it. It can provide other exceptions, particularly for public line traffic vehicles.

To indicate that one-way traffic is alternately allowed in one direction or the other, the signal "No entry" will be accompanied by an additional plaque mentioning the authorized access times, the length of the section, and the time generally required for vehicles to complete this route.
