Do you have a source for this? Look here for instance: "To respond to
a comment from a State
DOT, the FHWA adds paragraph 06 to recommend that the NO PEDESTRIANS
OR BICYCLES (R5–10b) sign, when used on a freeway or expressway exit or
entrance ramp, should be installed in a location where it is clearly
visible to any
pedestrian or bicyclist attempting to enter the limited access facility from a
street intersecting the exit ramp."
