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.
Neither is more intuitive, it’s just what you’re used to, culturally. Europeans could equally go to America, see a white sign with black symbol and red border and remark upon learning that it indicates a bike lane ‘That’s just not intuitive’.
I feel like a single line through would have been the correct design choice, still, because in practically every other context, that’s what’s used (no smoking signs, for example).

if I didn’t already know better, i would have interpreted these two signs to be synonymous.
i mean red generally means something negative, presuming you’re not colour blind
Yeah a / would make more intuitive.

Bike lanes in NA are denigrated by the police/delivery drivers parking in them.
Is there a problem having a little line through the thing you’re not supposed to do?
/American (sorry) question
That is used for cancelling a previous sign.
This is also used on town/city signs to indicate when you are leaving it (at least in Poland)
Technically that is also canceling the previous sign that said you are entering the town.

Seems like many, many other places around the world put a line through for road signs (though a couple outside Europe don’t, and even some inside Europe do): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prohibitory_traffic_sign
My 2¢, Europe is wrong on this one, despite being right on so much else haha
A line obscures the thing it’s trying to explain. Visually noisy, hard to read.
