Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. Parking is prohibited on the side of the road between this sign and the next similar sign.

A 'NO PARKING BETWEEN SIGNS' sign is a regulatory sign that explicitly forbids parking in the entire zone between where this sign is posted and the next sign indicating the end of the restriction or a different parking rule. This is a common way to delineate no-parking zones.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. This would typically be indicated by a '15 Minute Parking' or similar sign.
  • B. This describes 'No Standing' zones, which have a different sign.
  • C. This would be indicated by a 'Permit Parking Only' or similar sign.

NO PARKING BETWEEN SIGNS

A regulatory sign that establishes a no-parking zone for the entire area located between this sign and the next similar sign or a sign indicating the end of the restriction.

  • Rectangular white sign with black text.
  • Regulatory sign, indicating a rule.
  • Prohibits parking in a defined zone.
  • Zone extends until another sign modifies or ends the restriction.

Memory trick: No Parking Between Signs: It's a prohibited sandwich zone.
