Question 525 · Road signs
What is the meaning of the following traffic sign?
- No stopping or parking on the road-side where the sign is placed.
- No stopping for vehicles on both sides of the road.
- Stopping is permitted but parking is prohibited.
- It is allowed to stop and park, except on Saturdays and holidays.
Correct answer: No stopping or parking on the road-side where the sign is placed.
Why this is the answer
The single diagonal bar bans both stopping and parking, and only on the side of the road where the sign stands. Don't confuse it with the "no parking" sign, where a short stop is allowed.
Official road-sign table – No stopping or parking
