Road Signs in the Countryside

I recently moved to a new apartment, leaving behind the bustling metropolitan area of Barcelona and settling in a more rural part of Spain, where the noise is minimal during the day and the weekends are filled with peace and tranquility.

While walking along the roadsides, I often come across traffic signs that are uncommon in the city. Instead, they reflect the intersection of rural and urban environments. Here’s an example:

This is a common prohibition sign. The lower part reads: "No entry for bicycles and pedestrians". However, the upper part is something I had never seen before: "No entry for tractors and other self-propelled agricultural machinery, as well as animal-drawn vehicles".
