Prohibitory & Parking Signs
No Stopping Sign
You must not voluntarily stop in the signed area, even briefly to pick up or drop off a passenger.
What to Do
Keep moving unless traffic controls, conditions or an emergency require a stop.
A Detail to Remember
The barred octagon is the no-stopping symbol. It is stricter than a barred P for no parking.
Understanding Prohibitory & Parking Signs
The symbol tells you which activity is restricted. A time plate, arrow or additional message can limit when or where the restriction applies, so read the complete assembly rather than only the red marking.
