Learn the signs

C61

C61 Standsning forbudt

No stopping

What it means
Stopping on the carriageway is prohibited unless required by the traffic situation. An additional plate may specify or modify the restriction.
Your action
Do not voluntarily stop on the carriageway where the ban applies. A stop required by traffic is different; read any modifying plate.
Common mistake
Dropping off a passenger is not a general exception to this sign.
Full card and sources ↗
Find the circular red-and-blue no-stopping sign on the right. Do not confuse it with the separate pedestrian-crossing signs.
C62

C62 Parkering forbudt

No parking

What it means
Parking on the carriageway is prohibited. This sign alone does not prohibit every brief stop; other stopping rules and plates still apply.
Your action
Do not park where the restriction applies. Check other stopping rules and any direction or time plates.
Common mistake
No parking and no stopping are different restrictions. A brief stop must still comply with the other rules.
Full card and sources ↗
The upper sign is no parking. Read the lower plate too before deciding what is permitted at a particular spot.
E33.1

E33.1 Parkering

Parking

Your action
Read the conditions for the marked parking place, including times, vehicle types and any parking-disc requirement.
Common mistake
The P sign does not promise unlimited free parking at all times.

UC60.1

UC60.1

Restriction applies before and after sign

Your action
Read this with the main stopping or parking sign: its restriction applies before and after.
Common mistake
The arrow marks the extent of a restriction, not a driving direction.

UC60.2

UC60.2

Restriction begins at sign

Your action
Read this with the main stopping or parking sign: its restriction applies from the sign onwards.
Common mistake
The arrow marks the extent of a restriction, not a driving direction.

UC60.3

UC60.3

Restriction ends at sign

Your action
Read this with the main stopping or parking sign: its restriction applies up to the sign.
Common mistake
The arrow marks the extent of a restriction, not a driving direction.
Full card and sources ↗
E68

E68 Zonetavle

Zone with no parking

Your action
A no-parking zone begins. Follow the zone restriction until its end or an explicitly signed exception.
Common mistake
A zone does not simply end at the next ordinary junction.
Full card and sources ↗
E69

E69 Ophør af zone

End of zone with no parking

Your action
The no-parking zone ends. Reassess the other rules and signs that apply.
Common mistake
The end of one zone does not remove every other traffic rule.

Recall: name each sign

Similar signs, different decisions

Look at the exact symbol first, then read the difference.

C61C61No stoppingC62C62No parking

C61 prohibits voluntary stopping on the carriageway. C62 prohibits parking. Read other rules and any modifying plate in both cases.

UC60.2UC60.2Restriction begins at signUC60.3UC60.3Restriction ends at sign
