New York DMV Permit Written TestRoad SignsMedium
You are driving on a two-lane road and see a rectangular white sign with black text reading 'NO PARKING ANY TIME'. This sign is accompanied by a red circle with a diagonal line through it over the letter 'P'. What does this combination of signs indicate?
- AParking is allowed during specific hours only.
- BParking is strictly prohibited at all times in this area.
- CParking is permitted for emergencies only.
- DThis area is reserved for handicapped parking.
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: B. Parking is strictly prohibited at all times in this area.
Regulatory signs, especially those with the 'No' symbol (red circle with diagonal line), indicate a prohibition. 'NO PARKING ANY TIME' explicitly states that parking is forbidden at all times.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This is incorrect; 'ANY TIME' explicitly negates time-specific parking.
- C. This is incorrect; emergency parking would typically be indicated differently or implied by specific circumstances.
- D. This is incorrect; handicapped parking is indicated by a separate blue and white symbol.
No Parking Any Time Sign
A regulatory sign that combines text 'NO PARKING ANY TIME' with a red circle/slash over a 'P' symbol, indicating that parking is forbidden at any time in the designated area.
- Regulatory sign.
- Prohibits parking constantly.
- The 'No P' symbol reinforces the text.
Memory trick: Red slash means no, white text tells you when.
