Bermuda Prohibitory Signs
Indicate actions that are not permitted
27 signs in this category
Prohibitory signs indicate actions that are not permitted on Bermuda roads: no entry, no overtaking, no parking, or vehicle-specific restrictions. They set the legal limits you must respect.
Study tip: These are usually circular with a red border, and a red diagonal line means the action shown is banned. Watch for numbers or vehicle symbols that narrow the restriction.
