French term or phrase: transaction commerciale sauvage
Site safety regulations for drivers of lorries (industrial site).

"Il est interdit de :
...

Circuler seul dans les ateliers, loin de son véhicule, en dehors des zones de chargement - déchargement.
Rouler sur les pelouses, uriner sur le site (toilettes mises à disposition).
Effectuer toute transaction commerciale sauvage."

My general dictionary suggests "illegal". But is that accurate? Are there perhaps other connotations?

Explanation:
unauthorised transactions or sales - I would say that anything illegal is by definition not allowed, so this is trying to prohibit personal sales which are often of stolen merchandise.

Illicit commercial exchange


Explanation:
"Sauvage" in this context does indeed mean "illegal". However, since it goes about exchange or transactions, I would prefere to use here the term "illicit" instead of "illegal".

disagree  Daryo: Just because it's not supposed to be done on company's premises doesn't mean that it's "illegal" - i.e. against the law anywhere.

agree  Daryo: "Unauthorised" **on company's premises ONLY** NOT everywhere - just because someone is conducting their own private business on company's premises DOESN'T mean that their private business is automatically illegal (like selling stolen goods or ...)

I think 'transactions commerciales sauvages' would normally be translated as 'unauthorized commercial activities'. However, 'You are not authorized to conduct unauthorized commercial activities' sounds a bit silly. You could say: 'You are not allowed (permitted) to conduct unauthorized commercial activities' but I would personally prefer 'You are not allowed to conduct private business on the premises'.
