End of zone with a parking prohibition for small electric motor vehicles

Prohibitory Signs Sign number: 379

The sign indicates that the zone with a parking prohibition for small electric motor vehicles ends.

When you see the sign

The sign indicates that the zone-wide parking ban for small electric motor vehicles ends. If you are driving a car, do not interpret the sign as permission to park; check for other signs and the general parking rules.

Rules

  • Beyond the sign, the relevant zone-wide ban on parking small electric motor vehicles no longer applies.
  • The sign only ends the zone-wide ban for small electric motor vehicles, not any other parking or stopping bans.
  • The sign applies to parking, not movement; it therefore gives no information about where a small electric motor vehicle may be ridden.
  • Parking is not automatically permitted immediately after the sign. Other signs, road markings and traffic rules may still restrict parking.
  • For a car driver, the sign itself does not change the rules for parking the car.

Tips

  • Look for new parking signs or supplementary plates after passing the sign.
  • Do not use the sign as a basis for parking your car; consider the parking rules that apply at the location.
  • Distinguish between a zone sign ending a parking ban and a circular prohibition sign banning movement.
  • Watch out for abandoned small electric motor vehicles near the zone boundary, especially by pavements and junctions.

Common misconceptions

  • !Assuming that the sign means all parking is permitted beyond it.
  • !Confusing it with sign 306.10 and thinking that riding a small electric motor vehicle is prohibited.
  • !Assuming that the sign ends parking bans applying to cars and other vehicles.

Theory test tip

Look for the word «end» in the meaning: the sign only ends a zone-wide parking ban for small electric motor vehicles. A typical trap is to choose that it either prohibits riding an e-scooter or permits parking for all vehicles.

Did you know

The sign is particularly relevant to municipal regulation of parking for small electric motor vehicles, such as e-scooters. It makes it possible to end a geographical zone without changing the rules for car parking.

Frequently asked questions

Can I park my car immediately after the sign?

Not necessarily. The sign marks the end of a parking ban for small electric motor vehicles and does not itself grant permission to park a car.

Does the sign mean that e-scooters may be ridden beyond it?

The sign regulates parking, not movement. Where a small electric motor vehicle may be ridden is determined by other signs and the traffic rules.

Can a small electric motor vehicle always be parked beyond the sign?

No. The relevant zone-wide ban has ended, but other parking bans and requirements for safe and lawful placement still apply.

Does the sign cancel an ordinary parking ban on the street?

No. It only ends the zone-wide ban on parking small electric motor vehicles, not a separate parking ban arising from other signs or rules.
