What does a 'NO PARKING' sign allow you to do?

The answer

  • Park for up to 15 minutes
  • Leave the vehicle there while you run an errand
  • Nothing - you may not stop there at all
  • Stop briefly to pick up or set down passengers or goods, staying with the vehicle Correct

Why that's the answer

A 'NO PARKING' area still allows a short stop to pick up or put down passengers or goods - 2 minutes unless the sign shows a different time - and you must stay with the vehicle, since one left more than three metres away counts as unattended. That is what separates it from 'NO STOPPING' (also signed 'NO STANDING'), where you may not stop at all.
