You will see this signpost immediately after you left the harbor and before reaching the city. It mentions: all vehicles prohibited, bicycle free, (picture of) horse-drawn carriage at step permitted.

It is not allowed to use motor cars on the island Juist (visit link) (except for fire brigade, rescue service, emergency medical physician). Therefore, all traffic is done by horse-drawn carriages. They have no speed indicator, thus you can not set the speed limit to a specific number (5 or 10 kilometers). And so, the creative island administration "invented" this specific sign.

I did not see such a sign before (or afterwards) - it is very unusual. And the visitors, coming on their vacation to this island, love this sign post (in German only): (visit link)
