No parkingCanada
39. No parking
No parking indicates that vehicles may not be left parked at the location or along the section of road covered by the restriction. Depending on local law, a driver may still be allowed to stop briefly to pick up or drop off passengers or to load or unload goods, provided stopping itself is not prohibited.
A no-parking restriction may apply continuously or only during specified times, days, vehicle categories or sections of road. Its exact extent and exceptions are determined by the traffic sign, supplementary panels, road markings and local traffic regulations.

Can Ontario drivers assume parking is legal if no No Parking sign is visible?
No. The Ontario Driver’s Handbook warns that not all parking by-laws are shown on signs. Rules also restrict parking near hydrants, intersections, access points and other hazards.
