In this situation, which sign must you obey?

Correct answer

The no stopping and parking sign because it is the more restrictive one.

The image shows two conflicting traffic signs with different meanings: one prohibiting parking and another prohibiting stopping and parking. In this situation, where the signs are from the same group (vertical signs), you must obey the no stopping and parking sign because it is the more restrictive. When we encounter signs that may appear contradictory or indicate different prohibitions, we must always follow the more restrictive one. This is because the more restrictive sign includes the restrictions of the less restrictive one and adds further limitations, thereby ensuring greater safety and smoother traffic flow.
