What it means

An area is reserved for motor cars. One version of the sign reserves a road and the other reserves a parking area.

What you must do

If you are not driving a motor car, do not use the road or the parking area.

Remember

Reserved for motor cars, so a motor car may use it.

Many other reservation signs ask for the same action. Only the vehicle on the sign changes.

    The sign shows a P above a car, so the parking is for motor cars only, not for a bus.
