How many minutes can you park at a no-parking sign?
1 Answers
No-parking signs allow parking for less than 2 minutes. Signs: There are signs prohibiting temporary parking and long-term parking. The sign prohibiting temporary parking has a red cross in the middle. When this sign appears, it means all vehicles are prohibited from parking on that road section. Markings: Yellow and black dashed lines indicate temporary parking is allowed. Note that long-term parking is still prohibited here. If traffic police find a vehicle parked for an extended period without moving, it may be penalized. Temporary parking: If temporary parking (1-3 minutes) is needed while driving, the engine usually remains running for quick restart. First, press the brake and clutch pedals (automatic transmission vehicles only need the brake pedal), engage the handbrake, shift to neutral, release both pedals, and optionally release the steering wheel to relax.
