Regular signage
|
It is prohibited to park:
in front of a private driveway,
in a back lane,
on a cycle path,
next to a parked vehicle (double parking),
facing oncoming traffic,
in front of, or near a fire hydrant or intersection,
on the sidewalk,
in a pedestrian walkway or in front of an access ramp for the disabled,
on an angle, if not otherwise indicated, even owing to snowfall.

Any sign showing the colour red indicates a prohibition.
Any sign showing the colour green indicates permission; however, such
authorization may be subject to certain restrictions.
The 24-hour clock system is used to indicate times on the signs, i.e. 8 h 30
corresponds to 8:30 a.m., and 20 h 30 corresponds to 8.30 p.m.
Where two signs are on the same pole, the upper sign shows the greater
restriction, the lower one, the lesser.
A prohibited parking zone or a zone where parking is permitted under certain conditions is delineated by two separate signs,
each with an arrow pointing in the direction of the zone in which the regulation
applies. These signs are placed perpendicular to the street. A controlled zone may
also begin after an intersection. In that case, there is no arrow on the sign. The
zone ends either at the next intersection, or at a sign showing an arrow.
A back lane does not interrupt the restricted parking area – if there are no other
signs, it still applies the other side of the lane.
