It is possible that the difference between the terms “motor vehicle” and “vehicle” is not very clear to you and may cause you problems in remembering the meaning of this sign. Briefly, to understand the difference between them, it must be known that vehicles are all mechanical systems that move on the road, whether they have an engine or not. For example, bicycles, motorcycles, cars, trucks, etc., all are part of the category of vehicles. But motor vehicles are only those vehicles that have an engine.
