No Cycling Kyoto Pavement Marking

No Cycling Kyoto自転車急行禁止京都四条

During a stroll down Shijo Dori, Kyoto's main shopping street, we noticed several of the pictured warnings not to cycle on the sidewalk.

The sign reads:

急行禁止

NO!

The X across the image of the cyclist and the "NO!" are clear enough.

The kanji are read "kyuko kinshi" and means "moving at high speed prohibited."

We assume that means "no cycling." The lawyer in us would be tempted to ask a cop if "slow cycling" were allowed.

Not likely.
