Do you know your roadsigns
-
Since the signs are different here in North America, I not sure whether my 6 of 10 is good or bad. :) But what's the difference between waiting or parking? Your car is stopped in both cases. Chris Meech I am Canadian. [heard in a local bar] Gently arching his fishing rod back he moves the tip forward in a gentle arch releasing the line.... kersplunk [Doug Goulden] Nice sig! [Tim Deveaux on Matt Newman's sig with a quote from me]
In Denmark 'waiting' is standing still in 3 minutes, regardless if you're in or out of the car. If you're loading, or unloading, the car, then there is no time limit.

I really can't see the difference between those instructions though? :confused: K(arl) wrote: when another driver makes a hand signal, generally it's the best way to start a fight :-D :rolleyes:

I really can't see the difference between those instructions though? We got the exact same signs in Denmark. Are you sure the single line isn't no parking? In denmark the single line means 'No parking', but you may 'wait', which is < 3 minutes. The cross means 'No waiting' which of course implies that you can't 'wait' either. [edit]It really means no stopping, that's confusing!, I wonder if the EU has plans for coordinating the signs.[/edit] "After all it's just text at the end of the day. - Colin Davies "For example, when a VB programmer comes to my house, they may say 'does your pool need cleaning, sir ?'

According to the highway code: Single line - no waiting Cross - no stopping Both imply to me that you can't wait *or* stop.
