Can you temporarily park in a no-parking zone marked with a full-section prohibition sign?

No, temporary parking is not allowed in areas marked with a full-section no-parking sign. Here is relevant information: Related penalties: In sections with 'No Parking' signs, neither temporary nor long-term parking is permitted, regardless of whether someone is in the vehicle. Illegal parking will be recorded by electronic surveillance. After being recorded, the traffic management department will impose a fine and deduct 3 points from the driver's license for 'violating the prohibition sign instructions.' Temporary parking: Temporary parking refers to the time allowed for picking up or dropping off passengers, with no specific time limit. However, 'no temporary parking' means no stopping or alighting is permitted.
After driving for so many years, I've learned that when you see a 'No Stopping Any Time' sign on the road, you absolutely cannot stop, not even temporarily to drop off or pick up passengers or wait briefly for someone. This sign is designed to ensure smooth traffic flow and safety, especially during peak hours or on narrow roads. A temporary stop could cause congestion or even lead to accidents. Once, I saw someone in the city who took a chance and stopped for less than a minute, only for a traffic officer to come over and issue a ticket immediately—fines and points deducted, with no time for regrets. These areas are usually high-traffic zones, and emergency vehicles might need to pass through. So, when driving, it's crucial to strictly follow the signs. If you need to park, find a permitted spot, like a parking lot or a roadside parking space, and avoid unnecessary trouble. Safety comes first—protecting both yourself and others.
