Road Signs
Which statement correctly describes the difference between a 'No Stopping' sign and a 'No Parking' sign?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. No Parking allows brief passenger drop-offs; No Stopping forbids them except in an emergency
Understanding the hierarchy of restriction is critical. No Parking = can stop briefly to load/unload; No Stopping = cannot stop at all except in emergencies; No Standing = can stop only for active loading/unloading. Mix-ups can result in fines and towing.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.No Stopping allows brief passenger drop-offs; No Parking forbids themThis reverses the rule: brief drop-offs are permitted under No Parking, forbidden under No Stopping.
- C.Both signs have the same effect — they are simply worded differentlyThe two signs have meaningfully different restrictions; they are not interchangeable.
- D.No Parking applies only during business hours; No Stopping applies at all timesPosted restrictions apply at all times unless time-of-day plates are attached; both sign types can be either all-day or time-limited.
