End of a no-stopping restriction

The blue circular sign with a red border and red cross prohibits stopping. It is stricter than no parking: even a brief voluntary halt to pick up or set down passengers is prohibited, except when stopping is imposed by traffic, necessity or an emergency. The supplementary horizontal arrow pointing right is not a driving direction. In this official figure, used on a sign positioned perpendicular to the road, it marks the end of the no-stopping section. The restriction applies to the preceding section and ends beyond the sign.
