No entry
The sign indicates a prohibition against driving past the sign. Cycling and use of a small electric motor vehicle on the pavement may nevertheless take place in accordance with trafikkreglene.
When you see the sign
You must not drive past the sign from the side on which it is installed. Stop or choose another legal route without passing the sign.
Rules
- The prohibition applies to driving past the sign in the direction from which you approach it.
- The prohibition also applies to bicycles and small electric motor vehicles when they are being ridden or driven in the carriageway.
- Cycling and using a small electric motor vehicle may nevertheless take place on the pavement when this is permitted under the traffic rules and can be done without danger or unnecessary obstruction to pedestrians.
- Pedestrians may pass the sign because it applies to driving and not to travelling on foot.
Tips
- Look for the sign at entrances to one-way streets, public transport areas and other regulated roads.
- Plan an alternative route instead of driving in and trying to turn around after passing the sign.
- Do not follow a vehicle ahead through the entrance without checking the signs yourself.
Common misconceptions
- Thinking that the sign only prohibits motor vehicles; as a general rule, it also applies to bicycles and small electric motor vehicles in the carriageway.
- Confusing the sign with «Forbudt for alle kjøretøy». This sign prohibits passing from the side on which it is installed, whereas sign 306 indicates a general vehicle prohibition.
- Thinking that the sign prohibits pedestrians from passing.

Theory test tip
Pay attention to which road user and which part of the road the question concerns. A car cannot drive past the sign, whereas a cyclist may cycle on the pavement if the conditions in the traffic rules are met.
Did you know
The sign is often placed at the end of a one-way street where vehicles are not allowed to enter. It thereby prevents traffic from travelling in the wrong direction, but its specific meaning is that you may not drive past the sign.
Frequently asked questions
Can I drive past if I am only going a short distance?
No. The prohibition applies as soon as you pass the sign, regardless of how short a distance you intend to drive.
Can a cyclist pass the sign?
A cyclist may not cycle past it in the carriageway. However, the cyclist may use the pavement when cycling there is permitted and can be done without danger or unnecessary obstruction to pedestrians.
Can a pedestrian walk past the sign?
Yes. The sign prohibits driving past it and is not a prohibition applying to pedestrians.
Does the sign always mean that the street is one-way?
No, but it is often used at the wrong end of a one-way street. In any event, you must follow its specific meaning: It is prohibited to drive past the sign from this side.
