iFahrer – Driver’s License

This sign means the start of an absolute no-stopping zone. “Absolute” is important: you are not allowed to stop at all on that side of the road, not even briefly to load/unload or to let a passenger get in or out. The only typical exception is stopping because of traffic conditions (for example, a red light or a traffic jam).

Because the sign is placed on the right-hand kerbside, it applies to the right side of the roadway. The arrow shows the direction the restriction applies from the sign onward: a left-pointing arrow on a sign at the kerb indicates the restriction starts here and continues in that direction (from this point back along the kerb/section indicated). In practice, learn the rule of thumb: cross = no stopping (stricter than “no parking”), and the arrow tells you where the regulated section begins or ends.
