What it is Filled

A rule or command that forbids an action, expressed in laws, regulations, religious codes and signs, such as traffic prohibitions like no stopping and driving bans, fire safety prohibitions like campfire bans, access rules such as no animals or no cats, and religious prohibitions such as kil ayim, the Jewish laws against mixing certain species in planting, animal breeding and garments; the word also names the era of alcohol prohibition in the United States from 1920 to 1933, a distinct historical sense.

Why it exists Filled

Let an agent explain prohibitions, relay forms, legal and religious bases and enforcement from legal, religious studies and safety sources with attribution, describe the named prohibitions, advise following local fire bans and traffic rules, and distinguish prohibitions from obligations, permissions, taboos and the US Prohibition era.
