What constitutes a violation when there is a "NO STOPPING" sign?

When a "NO STOPPING" sign is present, it indicates that stopping at any time is strictly prohibited. This means that drivers are not allowed to pause their vehicles, regardless of the circumstances, including providing a short stop, waiting for traffic, or making quick deliveries. The intent of such signage is to ensure traffic flow without interruption, maintain safety in high-traffic areas, and prevent congestion or hazards that could arise from vehicles stopping in these designated zones.

The rule is implemented to enhance roadway efficiency, ensure emergency vehicles can navigate through, and maintain clear paths for transit and pedestrians. In this context, any violation of stopping regulations at a "NO STOPPING" sign will be enforced, regardless of the reasons a driver might consider stopping. This sets a clear standard that leaving no room for exception helps reinforce consistent compliance among all drivers.
