What does a "No cycling" traffic sign prohibit?

A "No cycling" traffic sign indicates a prohibition on all forms of biking. This sign is used to ensure the safety of pedestrians and to maintain the integrity of specific areas where cycling may pose a risk, such as crowded sidewalks or pedestrian-only zones. The directive applies universally; it does not differentiate between types of bicycles, including both traditional bikes and specialized ones, reinforcing that cycling is not allowed in the designated area. This blanket prohibition helps to minimize accidents and improve traffic flow on roadways or paths where bicycles may create hazards or disrupt pedestrian activities.
