no stopping

Keep on going

No stopping is a traffic regulation stricter than no parking—it prohibits any vehicle from coming to a halt, even briefly.

A no stopping zone typically appears where any pause would create hazard or obstruction: near intersections, fire hydrants, or active traffic lanes.

The sign said no stopping, so I had to circle the block to let her out.
