    Don’t signs usually have a line through it when it means “no”, or is that just american signage?

      European bike lanes (like this one should probably depict) are round and solid blue with a bike depicted on them.

      In Europe, lanes, where biking is prohibited are denoted by a round white sign with a relative wide red border (circle) and a bike depicted at its center.

        if I didn’t already know better, i would have interpreted these two signs to be synonymous.

          Mandatory signs are road signs that are used to set the obligations of all traffic that uses a specific area of road. Most mandatory road signs are circular in shape and may use white symbols on a blue background with a white border, or black symbols on a white background with a red border, although the latter is also associated with prohibitory signs.

      In the Netherlands (where this is depicted) it’s typically a white sign with black letters and a red line around it for prohibited, or blue with white text for required

      So a white sign with black numbers 80 and a red line around it means prohibited to drive faster than 80, s similar sign with a biker means forbidden for bikes there. If it’s a blue sign with a bike, it means bikes are required ro go here.

      A line through it actually means “end of this particular prohibition”

        …does a blue sign with a white 80 mean you must travel at least that quickly?..we have minimum speeds posted stateside, although it’s not common…

          We have minimum speeds in the Netherlands at least because driving too slow is either a nuisance or outright dangerous on a highway
