This is true.
You only have to go to the end of your driveway and you see a road.
They are everywhere. The road in front of my driveway leads to the other side of the country. How lucky am I.
I often wonder what it was like in the old days, way back before modern materials were used.
Way way back before cars, trucks, motorbikes and prohibited vehicles were invented.

I headed back to Google and I discovered that the world's oldest known paved road was constructed in Egypt sometime between 2600 and 2200 BC.
Stone-paved streets appeared in the city of Ur in the Middle East dating back to 4000 BC.
This road fact made me wonder. If I was a resident in the City of Ur on my way to work 4000 years ago, would I have to worry about prohibited vehicles scaring my horse while I'm riding it around in the peak hour traffic on my way to work?
I hope not.
However, these days, you may see some prohibited vehicles moving about in the traffic, so how can you tell a prohibited vehicle from a non-prohibited vehicle?
Transport for NSW website indicates the following prohibited vehicles include:
All petrol-powered bicycles that:
Have a petrol-powered engine attached before or after purchase.
Are powered by any other type of internal combustion engine.
Motorised foot scooters (with or without a seat) with an electric or petrol engine.
Minibikes or monkey bikes.
Motorised human transporters such as the Wheelman or Segway.
Skateboards with an electric or petrol motor.
Prohibited vehicles cannot be registered or insured.
It is illegal to use prohibited vehicles on a road or road-related area like a footpath, car park or park. Heavy fines apply.
Some of the fines in relation to unregistered vehicles are in excess of $600 which would take a chunk out of your weekly spending money for sure.
So, if you are the owner of a prohibited vehicle, do not use it on a road or road related area. Find somewhere where you can legally and safely use it.
