Why do the doors between carriages show a no entry sign, yet have to be used by passengers on the Eurotunnel?

The illuminated flashing no entry sign usually shows on the ‘le shuttle’ to indicate that you need to be aware when using them, in particular when the shutters are moving

Or if the motorised split doors are going to move.
If you look at the floor in the YouTube videos you will see a marked caution area.
i have not travelled on this train in a while, but seem to remember that whilst the train is in normal motion that the red sign flashes once you push the button for the two seconds whilst the door unlocks, and then the opposite light flashes green for a short moment to indicate that you can plus the doors open
This scenario is not at all uncommon. You will see No Entry/Prohibition signs on many types of trains, including commuter, subway, regional, etc. Yet, the doors are fully functional and easy to operate.
In these cases, the train operator would really prefer you not cross between cars/carriages, especially when the trail is moving, but the doors must remain accessible for evacuation purposes.
