Few days ago I wrote about\u00a0Traffic safety and road conditions on Polish roads<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

I shared with you a video about warning signs you may see on the roads in Poland. Today a little information about\u00a0Prohibition signs.<\/p>\n

No entry –\u00a0zakaz wjazdu<\/strong><\/p>\n

No entry for unauthorized vehicles. Usually shown as a red circle with a white rectangle across its face.<\/p>\n

No parking – zakaz parkowania<\/strong><\/p>\n

Amongst one of the most familiar signs, this sign is used where parking should be prohibited.<\/p>\n

No overtaking – zakaz wyprzedzania<\/strong><\/p>\n

Either overtaking is prohibited for all vehicles or certain kinds of vehicles only (e.g. trucks, motorcycles, etc…) In the USA, this is usually phrased as “no passing zone”<\/p>\n

No right, left or U-turn – zakaz skr\u0119tu w prawo, lewo lub zawracania<\/strong><\/p>\n

Either for all vehicles or with some exceptions (emergency vehicles, buses). These are usually to speed up traffic through an intersection or due to street cars or other right of ways or if the intersecting road is one-way. Indicated near-universally by an arrow making the prohibited turn overlaid with a red circle with an angular line crossing it.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the signs and what they mean:<\/p>\n
