Which sign means no stopping during the period indicated except for buses?

• A. No stopping during the period indicated except for buses
• B. No stopping during the period shown
• C. No waiting
• D. Stop when the bus arrives

Answer: (A)

This sign tests understanding of a time-based stopping restriction with a vehicle exemption. It means you may not stop in that area during the shown period, unless you are a bus. Buses are allowed to stop there to pick up or set down passengers, but all other vehicles must not stop.

Why this is the best choice: it explicitly includes the exception for buses, which is the defining feature of this sign. The other ideas would apply different rules—no stopping without any exception would ban everyone, no waiting is a different prohibition, and “stop when the bus arrives” isn’t how this sign is supposed to be interpreted.
