No Crossing; Do Not Cross
Used on signage to prohibit pedestrians from crossing a street or area. Often seen on traffic signs or painted on roads.
Crossing this road is prohibited.
Seeing the No Crossing sign, I used the pedestrian bridge.
Compound of 横断 (crossing) and 禁止 (prohibition). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the term is a straightforward modern compound used in traffic regulation.
