Clearways
No Stopping At Any Time Verge Footway
The red cross means no stopping, not even to pick up or set down passengers. The sign is used to indicate a 24-hour clearway (usually on a rural road) or may be incorporated into other signs with the words ‘No stopping’ (e.g. the ‘no stopping except local buses’ sign at bus stops). On a 24-hour clearway, the prohibition of stopping applies to the main running carriageway, slip roads and any acceleration and deceleration areas. You may stop in a lay-by unless there are signs to say otherwise. A 24-hour clearway does not have any special road markings, but smaller repeater signs might be provided at intervals along the road as a reminder to drivers.
This sign is used on a 24-hour clearway where waiting is prohibited on the verge or footway in addition to the prohibition of stopping on the main carriageway. The words ‘on verge or footway’ may be varied to ‘on verge’ or ‘on footway’. Where the ‘no waiting’ symbol is replaced by the red cross, stopping on the verge or footway is prohibited.
