The star symbol is for Motor Vehicle Closed areas. Pay attention to the star, diamond, and triangle symbols in the text and headings of the Motor Vehicle Restrictions.

Here's what the regs say -

Page 61 for Region 7B says:

-------------

MUs 7-19, 7-21(southeast portion), 7-31, 7-35, 7-36, 7-43, 7-53, and 7-57

There are 2 types of motor vehicle restrictions under the Wildlife Act, and all types can be seasonal or year-round.

1) Motor Vehicle Closed Area: Prohibits the use or operation of a motor vehicle and e-bike. These prohibitions can be for all motor vehicles, or specific to
ATVs/e-bikes or snowmobiles.

2) Motor Vehicle for Hunting Closed Area: The operation of motor vehicles and e-bikes to hunt, transport wildlife, transport equipment and supplies which are intended for or in support of hunting, or transport hunters to and from the location of wildlife is prohibited. These prohibitions can apply to all motor vehicles or be specific to ATVs/e-bikes or snowmobiles.

You can run a motor vehicle IF the elevation is below 1400 meters.

It seems pretty straightforward to me. ~NH3
