Stopping prohibited sign

Afrikaans: Stilhou verbode teken

What it means

To ensure traffic flow and prevent that driver’s views are not impaired by stationary vehicles. Do not stop unless to obey a traffic light or a traffic officer or to avoid a collision.

Om verkeersvloei te verseker en te verhoed dat bestuurders se sig deur stilstaande voertuie belemmer word. Moenie stop nie, behalwe om 'n verkeerslig of 'n verkeersbeampte te gehoorsaam of om 'n botsing te vermy.

Where you’ll see it

On any public road. The sign may be supplemented by a red “no stopping line”.

Op enige openbare pad. Die teken kan aangevul word deur 'n rooi “geen-stillshou-lyn”.
