- 1/14
Waiting is prohibited, except for loading and unloading, between 8 am and 6 pm.: This sign indicates that waiting is prohibited during the hours of 8 am to 6 pm. However, it explicitly makes an exception, allowing vehicles to stop for the purpose of loading and unloading goods within this specified time frame.
Waiting is prohibited in that direction, except for loading and unloading, on Monday between 8 am and 6 pm.: This sign specifies that waiting is not allowed during the stated hours and days, in the direction pointed by the arrow. The only exception to this prohibition is for vehicles actively engaged in loading or unloading.
Waiting is prohibited in the designated off-highway loading area between 8 am and 6 pm on weekdays, except for specific permitted vehicles.: This sign indicates a waiting prohibition in a designated off-highway loading area during Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm. However, it explicitly allows waiting for vehicles that have specific permission to be there.
Loading and unloading of goods are prohibited at any time.: This sign imposes a continuous and absolute prohibition on both loading and unloading activities. This means that no vehicle is allowed to stop for the purpose of transferring goods or passengers in this area, regardless of the time.
An area reserved exclusively for loading and unloading.: This sign clearly indicates a specific bay that is reserved solely for the purpose of loading and unloading goods. Vehicles not engaged in these activities are not permitted to use this bay.
Waiting is prohibited during specified hours, and loading/unloading is strictly prohibited at all times in the same direction.: This sign combines two restrictions: waiting is prohibited in the direction indicated from Monday to Saturday, 8 am to 6:30 pm, and loading/unloading is strictly prohibited at all times in the same indicated direction.
A designated parking place.: This common blue square sign with a white P universally indicates a designated parking place. Drivers can expect to find facilities for parking their vehicles in the area where this sign is displayed.
A parking place reserved exclusively for disabled badge holders.: This sign clearly indicates a parking place that is reserved exclusively for disabled badge holders. Only vehicles displaying a valid disabled badge are permitted to park in this designated space.
Parking is restricted to 20 minutes during specified hours (Monday to Saturday, 8 am to 7 pm), with no return within 40 minutes.: This sign indicates parking for all vehicles but imposes a time limit of 20 minutes during the specified hours (Monday to Saturday, 8 am to 7 pm). Additionally, it prohibits vehicles from returning to the same spot within a 40-minute period.
A parking place requiring a parking voucher, limited to a maximum of 2 hours, from Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 5 pm.: This sign designates a parking place reserved for voucher parking. It specifies that a voucher is required, parking is limited to a maximum of 2 hours, and these rules apply from Monday to Saturday, between 9 am and 5 pm.
A parking place exclusively available for parking on Saturdays.: This sign serves as a directional guide to a parking facility. The text Saturday only explicitly states that this particular parking place is only available for use on Saturdays, restricting its use to that specific day of the week.
Vehicles may be parked with part of the vehicle on the verge or footway.: This sign allows vehicles to be parked partially on the verge or footway. This means that a portion of the vehicle, typically the wheels on one side, may extend onto the paved pedestrian area or grassy strip next to the road.
Vehicles may be parked with all wheels on the verge or footway.: This sign indicates that vehicles are permitted to be parked wholly on the verge or footway. This implies that the entire vehicle can be positioned on the designated pedestrian area or grassy strip, off the main road.
The end of an area where vehicles were permitted to be parked partially on the verge or footway.: This sign, showing a vehicle partially on the footway with a red diagonal line through it, specifically marks the end of a zone where partial parking on the verge or footway was allowed. Beyond this point, such parking is no longer permitted.
