What is a "no parking sign"?

A no parking sign is a traffic sign that indicates parking is not allowed in a specific area or zone. This sign is often placed in areas where parking could block traffic, create safety hazards, or interfere with roadwork or other activities. The sign is usually marked with a red circle and a line through a parking symbol, signaling that vehicles must not park there at any time. Drivers who park in areas marked with a no parking sign may face fines or have their vehicles towed.
