About This Sign
This sign restricts parking during specific hours. Always check the posted times and days before leaving your vehicle.
Where you will see it
This sign appears along streets where parking is prohibited only during certain hours or on certain days. The times are written on the sign itself.
What to do
- Read the posted times and days before you park.
- Park only outside the restricted hours.
- Move your vehicle before the restricted time begins.
A common mistake
Drivers see an empty curb in the evening and assume parking is always fine. The restriction applies during the times shown, so a spot can be legal at one hour and not another.
What to remember for the test
The key is the time: no parking only during the hours posted. Outside those hours, the sign does not prohibit parking.
