"No Parking" Pavement Word Marking

White "NO PARKING" legend painted on the pavement to prohibit stopping or parking in that space.

A white "NO PARKING" word legend painted directly on the roadway tells drivers that stopping, standing, or parking is prohibited in that space. It reinforces curbside signage and is commonly used along curbs, in front of fire hydrants, in loading zones, or near intersections. Treat the painted word the same way you would a posted No Parking sign; do not leave a vehicle there at any time.
