How can you identify a no-parking zone?

Identifying a no-parking zone is primarily done by looking for signage that explicitly indicates the restriction. Signs are placed to communicate important information to drivers, including rules about parking regulations in specific areas. When a sign is present, it clearly states whether parking is allowed or prohibited, and often includes specific hours during which the restrictions apply.

While yellow curb paint can also indicate no parking in some places, it is not universally used and may not be present in all no-parking zones. Observing nearby parked cars can lead to incorrect assumptions about parking availability, and the absence of parking meters does not necessarily indicate that parking is allowed. Thus, signage is the most reliable and clear way to identify no-parking zones.
