Road signs in Belgium/C Prohibitory signs

C Prohibitory signs

Sign	Image	Description	Tags
C1		Forbidden direction for all drivers.	oneway=yes make sure the direction of the way is the same as the driving direction
		C1+M2 Forbidden direction for all drivers, except bicycles	oneway=yes combined with oneway:bicycle=no
		C1+M3 Forbidden direction for all drivers, except bicycles and mofas (mopeds class A).	oneway=yes combined with oneway:bicycle=no and oneway:mofa=no
		C1+M11 Forbidden direction for all drivers, except bicycles and speed pedelec (mopeds class P).	oneway=yes combined with oneway:bicycle=no and oneway:speed_pedelec=no
		C1+M12 Forbidden direction for all drivers, except bicycles, mofas (mopeds class A) and speed pedelecs (mopeds class P).	oneway=yes combined with oneway:bicycle=no, oneway:mofa=no and oneway:speed_pedelec=no
C3		No entry, in both directions, for all drivers.	vehicle=no and horse=no Also try to add the necessary tag when there is an exception sign. Please see Key:access for exceptions not listed below.
		Only destination traffic allowed. Horses, bicycles, pedestrians and bus are always allowed.	vehicle=destination, bicycle=yes, horse=yes, bus=yes and emergency=yes
		Only traffic of residents allowed (aangelanden) is a more strict limitation than destination traffic (plaatselijk verkeer / circulation locale), as it only allows people actually owning or renting property in that street, and not visitors or delivery traffic like with destination traffic. But at the moment, this difference is not yet expressed in OSM. Another difference with destination is that there are no exceptions defined (for example bicycle, horse,...)	vehicle=destination, horse=destination
		Variation of the above sign, with exceptions for permit holders and bicycles.	vehicle=destination, horse=destination, bicycle=yes There is no consensus yet on how to tag access restriction based on permits. One way of tagging it would be by adding: vehicle:conditional=yes @ permit. Another way would be vehicle=no, vehicle:conditional=yes @ destination;yes @ (private AND private=permit). (and similar for horse access)
		Only permit holders and delivery vehicles allowed.	vehicle=no, horse=no, vehicle:conditional=yes @ permit; yes @ delivery, horse:conditional=yes @ permit; yes @ delivery
		A street that has been temporarily and partially closed to allow children to play on the streets	As an example, a street that is closed during the summer holidays from 9 until 18:00: access:conditional=destination @ (Jul-Aug 09:00-18:00) maxspeed:conditional=5 @ (Jul-Aug 09:00-18:00)
		A street where a school is located. Limited access, making it safe for pedestrian and cyclists. Only pedestrians, cyclists and speed pedelecs are allowed. Maximum speed is limited to 'walking speed'. Exception for permit holders (law nl schoolstraat fr rue scolaire)	vehicle=no, horse=no, bicycle=yes, speed_pedelec=yes, emergency=yes maxspeed:conditional=5 @ (opening_hours school) vehicle:conditional=yes @ permit;yes @ (opening_hours when there's no school);yes @ (SH) (adjust the "opening_hours when there's no school" in the tag above). horse:conditional=yes @ permit;yes @ (opening_hours when there's no school);yes @ (SH) (adjust the "opening_hours when there's no school" in the tag above). A new proposal for these situations is available here.
		A towpath, which has it's own set of laws. See Jaagpad page for more details.	vehicle=no, horse=no, bicycle=yes, mofa=yes, maxspeed=30 There is no consensus yet on how to tag access restriction based on permits. One way of tagging it would be by adding: vehicle:conditional=yes @ permit. Another way would be vehicle=no, vehicle:conditional=yes @ destination;yes @ (private AND private=permit). (and similar for horse access)
