Agreed. The actual intent can be found in the regulation cited in small print on the sign - provided you’re carrying your handy-dandy copy of the CFR with you.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but my take on the sign was that it was a warning against traveling off-road.  An alternative take would be no off-road vehicles (ie, 4-wheelers) allowed.  It really is not very clear.

The obvious intent is to prohibit driving off the road; however, the NPS is masterful at an inability to state things with clarity.
