Parking Sign
Shape: Rectangle or square · Colour: Blue background
Parking is permitted in this designated area.
What It Means
The Parking sign indicates a legally designated area where vehicles may be parked. Many parking signs in India include supplementary plates showing time restrictions, day restrictions, or type of vehicle permitted (e.g., "2-wheelers only"). Paid parking zones in cities are managed by smart parking systems in some municipalities. Parking at a Parking sign does not exempt you from blocking driveways, fire hydrants, or disability bays.
📍 Where You'll See It
At parking lots, roadside bays, multi-storey car parks, and designated on-street parking zones.
✅ What You Must Do
Park within the marked space. Check supplementary plates for time limits. Pay parking charges if applicable. Do not block other parked vehicles.
⚠️ Common Mistake
Parking in a clearly marked parking bay for disabled persons when a regular parking sign is nearby.
⚖️ Legal Note
Parking in prohibited areas despite a nearby Parking sign: Sec. 122 MV Act. Fine + possible towing.
