What does 'No Parking' mean?

[DiElle]

No Parking means that vehicles are prohibited from parking. It indicates that within a specified area, all vehicles are forbidden from parking temporarily or for an extended period. No Parking signs are placed in areas where vehicle parking is prohibited. The sign features a blue background with a red circle and a red diagonal bar, and the prohibited parking times, vehicle types, and scope can be specified with auxiliary signs. Here is additional information: 1. 'No Long-term Parking' is usually marked by alternating white and yellow dashed lines painted along the edge of the road. This type of roadside marking indicates that short-term temporary parking is allowed, but long-term parking is prohibited. A complete prohibition of both temporary and long-term roadside parking is indicated by a solid yellow line along the entire edge of the road. 2. If you need to park for a slightly longer period, it is best to find a designated parking spot rather than parking temporarily on the roadside. For truly long-term parking, it is advisable to choose a parking lot or a roadside area with designated parking spaces. This ensures safety, peace of mind, and avoids penalties.
