Where a "NO PARKING" sign is posted, what are you allowed to do?
Correct answer: Stop briefly to let passengers get in or out.
Answer options
- APark there as long as the driver stays inside
- BStop briefly to let passengers get in or out Correct
- CLeave the car unattended for under 3 minutes
Why
A "NO PARKING" sign still lets you pause for a moment to pick up or drop off passengers or goods, as long as you move on right away. Sitting in the driver's seat does not make it legal to park there, and leaving the car unattended to run an errand, even a short one, still counts as parking.
Tip Sitting behind the wheel does not turn parking into a legal stop; only a short stop to load or unload is permitted.
