Just had a look on google street view and the road signage here has a picture of a motorbike over a car, and "Except for access" underneath, so slightly different.
The signs are very much the same, just that the 1 with the car and motorbike on it doenst have the restriction on bicycles, where they may only be pushed and not ridden. I suppose that ties in that our street is designed to be a public footpath with pedestrians having the right of way and vehicular access only granted for residents. In essence both are designed to restrict motorised vehicles from using the road/path. Personally I think that sign along with

"No vehicles
Except for residents"
would help as it would be more clear. I doubt it would stop many driving through though.
