How many minutes of parking in a no-parking zone constitutes a violation?
1 Answers
Parking in a no-parking zone is considered a violation regardless of the duration. If parking in a temporary stopping zone, the duration allowed before it is considered a violation varies by region due to different enforcement standards. Generally, the permitted stopping time ranges between 3 to 5 minutes; exceeding this time constitutes illegal parking. Areas where parking is prohibited include: 1. Sections with no-parking signs or markings, road sections with separation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, crosswalks, and construction zones; 2. Intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, and sections within 50 meters of these locations; 3. Areas in front of bus stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or fire stations, and within 30 meters of these locations, except when using these facilities.
