      Exactly, it doesn’t mean “maximum allowed” but “not allowed”. “No pedestrians allowed”, “No driving over 80km/h allowed”, “No bananas allowed”.

        if you parse the 80 sign as “keep below 80” then this would be “keep below 1 pedestrian”!

        there’s a reason some countries have a line through the “no x” signs, i think…
