Which violation applies when stopping or parking in an area where signage prohibits it?

• A. Stop/stand/park in violation of signage
• B. Stopping/parking in road
• C. Parked on sidewalk
• D. Parked blocking private/public driveway

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that posted signs dictate where you may stop, stand, or park. When a sign prohibits those actions in a specific area, any stopping or parking there is illegal because you’re ignoring the posted restriction. The described offense, “stop/stand/park in violation of signage,” is the precise way the law covers this situation, since it encompasses stopping or parking in any zone where a sign says not to. The other options describe different scenarios (stopping or parking somewhere generally, on a sidewalk, or in a driveway) that can be illegal for other reasons, but they don’t specifically capture the prohibition conveyed by a sign.
