New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road rules

What does a 'No stopping' sign mean?

The answer

  • You may park for up to 2 minutes
  • You may stop but not leave the vehicle
  • You may stop briefly to drop off a passenger
  • You must not stop at any point on the road or kerb in the direction of the arrow, unless in an emergency Correct

Why that's the answer

A 'No stopping' sign means you must not stop at any point on the road or kerb in the direction of the arrow, unless there is an emergency. It is stricter than 'No parking', which allows a brief stop to pick up or drop off.
