Interesting, as an American our road signage is similar to the standard the other person commented. I've only ever seen signs that indicate what is not allowed with a very prominent slash through it though - not just a circle
No, American signs mostly use "NO" in text to indicate "not allowed". Very inefficient. (Edit: apparently R5-6 exists for no bikes. However, almost all other bans are verbal.)
In Europe, we use multiple thin black slashes over a greyed-out sign to indicate the ban has ended.
Some of the green tails in my city have signs saying bikes are allowed (words, not symbols). They don't say walking is allowed, so are they bike only? I know that all the trails allow bikes, so I find these signs confusing.
All the trails have the NO signs; no motor vehicles. But people ride e-bikes and scooters on them. Don't electric motors count as motors? Am I over thinking again?
By default, sidewalks and similar paths are pedestrian-only. Unlike Germany, Czech Republic is notorious for being overly explicit about what is allowed where.
Signs like End of cycleway
are super overused:
There's also a separate sign for segregated foot/cycle paths.
