Is a moped rider required to use the road marked with this sign?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Sign R-405 is “Mandatory road for two-wheeled motorcycles”: it requires drivers of two-wheeled motorcycles and of three-wheeled vehicles equated to motorcycles to travel on the roadway at whose entrance it is located. The moped is a different category from the motorcycle (and the Traffic Law does not consider it a motor vehicle), so this sign does not affect it and its rider is not required to travel on that roadway. Thinking that the rider is required to do so when the moped has 125 cc or more is a mistake: a moped is, by definition, a vehicle of up to 50 cc or 4 kW. And believing that the sign affects all two-wheeled vehicles is also a mistake: it only affects motorcycles and equated three-wheeled vehicles.
