Question 4871
In this situation, which sign must you obey?
- The no-parking sign, because it is the least restrictive.
- The no-stopping-or-parking sign, because it is the most restrictive.
- None of them, since if the signs contradict each other, they cancel each other out.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The no-stopping-or-parking sign, because it is the most restrictive.
Both are posted signs of the same type, so you must obey the more restrictive one. The upper sign, with a single red diagonal line, prohibits parking. The lower sign, with a red X, also prohibits stopping, and that is the one you must obey. Conflicting signs do not cancel each other out.
