This is the international road sign meaning "No Through Road". The ancient one in Britain said just that. It means the road is closed to "through traffic".

The sign is used when there is no (other) outlet for a given set of roads. But the OP's issue seems different, not that traffic literally can't go through, it's just not welcome.

From the stress on "thru" in "thru-traffic", you can tell that "thru" is not an adjective, but rather the first part of a compound.
