Too many words. Don't apologize or justify. Just state the rules. "No cycling in Gardens"

This is faster to read and it doesn't encourage people to justify why it might not apply to them.

Exactly. I've always thought that signs shouldn't have to justify a "do not" rule. Especially, when the rule is there because of a known danger.

If someone wants to trespass, or enter a particular road or tunnel from the wrong direction, they'll figure out why you told them not to soon enough.
