in Germany the sign with the car on it is about "Kraftwagen" which includes 
besides pkw (cars) also buses and hgv, but it doesn't include motorbikes 
(Kraftrad), typically you'll see a sign which forbids entry for both these 
classes:

there's no class for "Kraftwagen" in osm if motorcar is about cars  
(Personenkraftwagen, or is that passenger car?): 
https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personenkraftwagen
but I'm not sure about the corresponding term because you can't really rely on 
wikipedia interlinking here, at least the italian article should be linked to 
Personenkraftwagen, not to automobile as it is now: 
https://it.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autovettura
and likely the English one as well. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Car
but the English one is not clear in any way, anyway.

Apparently the uk doesn't have a traffic sign restricting the access just for 
cars:
