- No parking between 7 AM and 6 PM
- No stopping, standing, or parking at any time (Correct answer)

Correct answer: No stopping, standing, or parking at any time
A red curb means no stopping, standing, or parking at any time under any circumstances.
Question 2: On an uphill grade with NO curb, which way should you turn your wheels when parked?
- Straight ahead
- Toward the edge of the road (Correct answer)
