DEAR SERGEANT AL: Can you tell us what’s the
difference between no parking, no standing, and no stopping? –NO
UNDERSTANDING ZONE.
DEAR NO UNDERSTANDING ZONE: The New York City
Department of Transportation has a great guide to go by when it comes to
the difference between parking, standing, and stopping. Many cities like New
York are developing a ZERO TOLERANCE policy when it comes to parking
regulations pertaining to occupied cars where they will come up to you and
ticket you right away without waiting for an explanation. Be on the lookout for
this kind of tactic particularly in cities and parts of towns where traffic is
particularly heavy, and where there are lots of tourist attractions and
landmarks, like Washington, DC. For understandable reasons law enforcement
agencies like the Capitol Police and the US Parks Police DO NOT want people
standing or stopping their cars near any structure or landmark on the National
Mall. God forbid they catch you in your car standing on a curb next to things
like the Lincoln Memorial. Without hesitation they will ticket you right there
and then WITH NO WARNING.
Here is that guide from New
York City:

Above all else NO UNDERSTANDING ZONE,
remember that at a No Stopping zone YOU CANNOT DO ANYTHING INCLUDING STOPPING
EXCEPT FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. SO when you see a sign stating NO STOPPING drive
right on by. I hope this answers your question. Safe driving!

Very good post. No parking signs are very important in many places. It can help the people and also the people driving the vehicles. Also keep writing more on importance of other signs as well.
