When neighborhoods were segregated in the US, were black people outright banned from entering white neighborhoods, or was it just that they couldn't live there? (lemmit.online)

This is something that always confused me. When segregation of neighborhoods was still a thing, were black people outright banned from entering white neighborhoods? As in, if a black person tried to walk/drive through a white neighborhood, they'd be arrested? Or was it just that black people weren't allowed to live or own property in those neighborhoods, but could still enter/pass through them? Conversely, were white people banned from either entering or living in black neighborhoods?

No controversy is intended by this question. Thanks.
