No Motor Vehicles....except for access.

[wildone63]

You will often see this sign at the end of a street or road to indicate that no motor vehicles are allowed.
However the sign will often also state 'except for access',but in the abscence of any information being displayed as to whos/what vehicles qualify as 'access' how can anyone encountering one of these signs be expected to know whether they qualify as access or not?
Just wondering because recently i drove down a road where such a sign was displayed and was seen by a BIB,who i thought was going to pull me over,but he didnt.I was well prepared to argue the point.
No Evel Kneivel remarks please

Access to the other end of the road

It simply means you can enter the road to access some place on that road, but not use it as a through route to go somewhere else.
