I think this analogy kinda falls apart because in reality the rule “no vehicles” is for a reason.

If “people could get hurt” is the reason for no vehicles, an RC car, a stroller, a quadcopter, and maybe even a hand pulled wagon is perfectly fine because the risk is very low.

If “the noise will be an issue” is the reason, bikes are fine but a quadcopter is not.

If “protecting the environment” is the problem, horses and rowboats may be allowed but RC cars and dirt bikes perhaps not.

Having a rule with no context for the rule is pointless.

Where I live, such signs are more specific. They prohibit either use of any motorized vehicle (which by law doesn’t include electrified bicycles that can go up to 25kph), or the use of bicycles, or both, or only prohibit cars, or only motorcycles, or only trucks above a certain weight.
