    It’s simple, really. It depicts which vehicles are allowed beyond the sign. For some reason cycling is also not allowed.

    The camera means that there is an automatic license plate checker in place in case you ignore it.

      I think that’s a “no motorbikes” sign. The thick thing above the back wheel is usually how they differentiate motorcycles from bikes on signs.

          No it’s not your fault! They should have written it out like normal people instead of using emojis or pictograms or what ever the fuck kids call it these days!

            You’re being sarcastic, right? There’s no way in hell that a sign that says VERBODEN TOEGANG VOOR BROMMERS, SNORFIETSEN, EN MOPEDS is somehow more readily understandable than a pictogram that I could recognize from 20 meters away in a low-resolution photo

              You talking about a pictogram which could be anything from a bike to a motorcycle to glasses? And yes, I’m being sarcastic!

        Having circled with a buddy adamant on parking in NYC, I can tell you that t works like this:

        1. Circle
        2. Circle
        3. Spot open parking
        4. Pull in, get out
        5. Go to sign
        6. Compare time of day, street side, date, weekday, car type, against sign
        7. Discover on leap year even-date Tuesdays you can’t park a blue domestic car here unless your name is steve
        8. Curse. GOTO 1

          Steve only or are Steven’s ok? What about the heathen Stephen’s? Does the council of Steve’s approve and certify the Steve’s?

      Specifically it’s about the “milieu zone”, this is a sign at the threshold of an urban area that is forbidden to older diesels, the vans with numbers next to them are diesel “classes”, the oldest ones are now forbidden in most city centers.
