MUTCD Section 2B.31 Selective Exclusion Signs

Selective Exclusion signs give notice to road users that State or local statutes or ordinances exclude designated types of traffic from using particular roadways or facilities.

If used, Selective Exclusion signs shall clearly indicate the type of traffic that is excluded.

Typical exclusion messages include:
A. No Trucks R5-2 ;
B. NO MOTOR VEHICLES R5-3 ;
C. COMMERCIAL VEHICLES EXCLUDED R5-4 ;
D. TRUCKS VEHICLES WITH LUGS PROHIBITED R5-5 ;
E. No Bicycles R5-6 ;
F. NON-MOTORIZED TRAFFIC PROHIBITED R5-7 ;
G. MOTOR-DRIVEN CYCLES PROHIBITED R5-8 ; and
H. Hazardous Cargo Prohibited R14-3 .

Appropriate combinations or groupings of these legends into a single sign, such as PEDESTRIANS BICYCLES MOTOR-DRIVEN CYCLES PROHIBITED R5-10a , or PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLES PROHIBITED R5-10b may be used.

The Selective Exclusion sign should be placed on the right side of the roadway at an appropriate distance from the intersection so as to be clearly visible to all road users turning into the roadway that has the exclusion. The PEDESTRIANS PROHIBITED R5-10c or R9-3a sign should be installed so as to be clearly visible to pedestrians at a location where an alternative route is available.
