Road Signs
You are driving a friend home and stop in a 'No Parking' zone to let them out quickly. Is this allowed?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Yes, briefly stopping to drop off a passenger is generally allowed in a No Parking zone
'No Parking' means you cannot leave your vehicle unattended, but you can briefly stop to load or unload passengers. This differs from 'No Stopping' signs, which forbid all halts except for emergencies.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.No, stopping for any reason is forbidden in a No Parking zone'No Parking' does not forbid brief passenger drops; it forbids leaving the vehicle unattended. A 'No Stopping' sign is the stricter version.
- C.Yes, but only if you leave the vehicle runningWhether the engine runs or is off is not the legal test; the key question is whether you leave the vehicle unattended.
- D.Only if the passenger pays a fee at a meterMeter fees apply to pay-parking zones, not to drop-offs in no-parking zones.
