It's a warning, not a restriction. I regularly take my 2WD on one of these roads, every time I visit my aunt. On the other hand, I'm only going about 2 kilometres, I know I can handle that bit of the road as long as it isn't raining so hard the surface has turned to porridge, and the really bad parts are past her house. I've gotten a few odd looks from 4WD drivers going the other way (passing isn't easy, either), but no one's ever tried to stop me. On the other hand, some of these roads are hundreds of kilometres long, with possible fords/flooding, steep hills, bad ruts, and no inhabitants to turn to for help. I wouldn't want to take a single 4WD on those roads, let alone a 2WD.
