No Parking
You must not park your vehicle in an area where a ‘No Parking’ sign
applies, unless:
• you are dropping off or picking up passengers or goods
• you do not leave the vehicle unattended – that is, move more than
three metres away and
• you complete the dropping off or picking up as soon as possible
– in any case, within two minutes.
Please note: a No Standing sign has the same meaning as a No Stopping sign.

or doors by which vehicles enter or leave, unless you are dropping
