No-entry signs prohibit vehicles from entering a road or lane from a specific direction. Ignoring these signs can lead to head-on collisions, fines and serious danger. No-entry signs are often used at exit-only lanes, one-way street entrances and restricted areas. If you see a no-entry sign, do not proceed. Turn around safely at the next legal opportunity. Some drivers mistakenly follow GPS directions into no-entry zones. Always prioritise road signs over navigation instructions. If you realise you are approaching a no-entry, stop safely before the sign and find an alternative route.
