no running

Poolside safety rule

No running is a prohibition commonly posted at swimming pools, in hallways, and other spaces where running poses safety risks.

The phrase functions as a command or rule: The sign said no running, but the kids ignored it.

This "no + gerund" construction is standard for institutional rules: no smoking, no parking, no loitering.
