Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. You are prohibited from stopping, standing, or parking your vehicle, even momentarily, except to avoid conflict with other traffic or obeying a traffic control device.
A 'NO STANDING ANY TIME' sign is a strict regulatory sign. It prohibits stopping a vehicle for any reason, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or to obey a traffic control device. This means no stopping to load/unload passengers or merchandise.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This is disallowed by a 'NO STANDING' sign; 'NO PARKING' permits this action.
- B. This is typically allowed only in 'metered parking' or specific 'time limit' zones, not 'NO STANDING'.
- C. Picking up or dropping off passengers is considered 'standing' and is prohibited by this sign.
