Question 578 in the bank

What is the meaning of the following traffic sign?

A white circle with a thick red border. Inside it is a black silhouette of an adult holding a child by the hand. Meaning: No entry for pedestrians, including the “hard shoulders”.
  1. Entry is permitted for pedestrians only.
  2. Children are not allowed to play here.
  3. Correct answer: No entry for pedestrians, including the “hard shoulders”.
  4. Careful! Pedestrians nearby.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: No entry for pedestrians, including the “hard shoulders”.

A white circle with a red border is a prohibition sign, and the figures inside it show that the prohibition applies to pedestrians. The prohibition is on entering this section of road, and it includes the hard shoulders as well. It is not a warning sign, which is triangular. It is also not a sign permitting entry for pedestrians only, which is a blue circle.
