What it means
Temporary Prohibition: Parking is temporarily banned in this area. Unauthorized vehicles may be towed to clear work space.
What to do
- Do not leave your vehicle parked in the zone unless signs allow a specific exception.
- Stopping briefly to pick up or drop off may still be allowed unless a no-stopping sign applies.
- Conditions have changed here: obey this temporary sign even where it contradicts the permanent signs you know.
In the K53 test
Yellow background means temporary: it overrides the permanent version wherever they disagree. No parking is not the same as no stopping: test questions love that distinction.
Where you will see it
On a public road that is narrow, near an intersection, or where parked vehicles would block sight.
