When you encounter a No Parking sign, which action is typically permitted?

• A. Stopping briefly is allowed if permitted by law.
• B. Parking is allowed during peak hours.
• C. Stopping for a meal.
• D. Stopping for the day.

Answer: (A)

No Parking signs restrict leaving your vehicle in a spot, but you can stop briefly to drop off or pick up passengers if you stay with the vehicle and don’t block traffic. This is the most appropriate behavior because the sign aims to keep traffic moving and prevent long stops. Parking for any length of time, or stopping and staying to eat or wait for the day, would mean leaving the vehicle parked or stationary for longer than a quick stop, which the sign does not permit. If there are additional time limits posted, follow those as well, and always avoid stopping in a way that blocks lanes, crosswalks, or hydrants.
