That sign usually means no entry for bikes so I was confused for a moment
Don’t signs usually have a line through it when it means “no”, or is that just american signage?

European bike lanes (like this one should probably depict) are round and solid blue with a bike depicted on them.

In Europe, lanes, where biking is prohibited are denoted by a round white sign with a relative wide red border (circle) and a bike depicted at its center.

I feel like a single line through would have been the correct design choice, still, because in practically every other context, that’s what’s used (no smoking signs, for example).

Seems like many, many other places around the world put a line through for road signs (though a couple outside Europe don’t, and even some inside Europe do): en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibitory_traffic_sign

My 2¢, Europe is wrong on this one, despite being right on so much else haha

A line obscures the thing it’s trying to explain. Visually noisy, hard to read.
