Which sign states: 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 only for buses

Answer: (A)

This sign uses a time-restricted stopping rule with an explicit exception. It tells you that you must not stop during the period shown, except if your vehicle is a bus. So during those hours, private cars and other non-bus vehicles aren’t allowed to stop, but buses can stop for passengers or to pick up/drop off.

That’s why this is the best choice: it literally states the no-stopping rule and includes the important exception for buses. The other options describe different restrictions: “No stopping during the period shown” misses the bus exception, “No waiting” implies a different, broader restriction, and “Stop only for buses” reverses the meaning, suggesting only buses may stop rather than allowing buses to stop while others cannot.
