As I have said in other forums Websites are not the law, unless it is the legislation website.

It’s likely that local councils are unaware that they no longer have any legal purpose.

Is it not an official sign? Could someone elaborate on the legal side mentioned here. E.g. is there catalogue of street signs in the road rules and this one is not among them? Are people confusing lax enforcement of the sign with it having no legal meaning?

OSM is not a place to add a nonexisting ban on transit traffic Yeah realised this later, see my other post in this thread at https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-au/2019-November/013188.html, which I suggested motor_vehicle:advisory=destination to tag a suggested or advised but maybe not legally enforceable destination only restriction.

Is permission required to enter this area? AFAIK there is no tagging scheme for distinguishing "only with permission of homeowner" and "available to all residents of closed community". It just means this road is indented to be used if you're traveling to somewhere along this road, but not if you're just driving through as a shortcut. It's still public land, not private property.
