Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Parking is prohibited on the side of the street where the sign is located, between this sign and the next similar sign.
A 'NO PARKING BETWEEN SIGNS' is a regulatory sign that strictly prohibits parking on that side of the street, starting from where that sign is posted and extending to the next similar sign or the end of the block. This rule applies 24/7 unless otherwise specified.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This sign explicitly prohibits parking, not permits it.
- C. 'NO PARKING' usually prohibits even temporary stopping, unlike 'NO STANDING' or 'NO STOPPING' which have different allowances.
- D. If specific hours apply, they would be written on the sign (e.g., 'NO PARKING 8 AM - 5 PM').
