Zone with a parking prohibition for small electric motor vehicles

Prohibitory Signs Sign number: 377

The sign indicates the boundary of an area where parking small electric motor vehicles is prohibited. The sign applies until it is cancelled by sign 379 “End of zone with a parking prohibition for small electric motor vehicles”. Different provisions concerning parking or stopping may be established within the area. The zone sign’s provisions do not apply at these locations.

When you see the sign

If you want to park a small electric motor vehicle, you must not do so within the zone unless a location is specifically signposted to allow it. You may still drive through the area, because the sign does not prohibit passage. If you are driving a car, you must comply with any other regulations concerning parking and stopping in the zone.

  • Do not confuse the sign with a prohibition on driving a small electric motor vehicle.
  • As a car driver, you should check for other signs in the zone, because this sign alone does not regulate car parking.

Frequently asked questions

Can I drive a small electric motor vehicle through the area?

Yes, this sign only prohibits parking. However, you must still drive in accordance with the traffic regulations and other signs.

Does the parking prohibition also apply to passenger cars?

No, not on the basis of this sign alone. Car parking may nevertheless be regulated by other signs or provisions in the area.

Where does the zone end?

The zone applies until you pass sign 379 «slutt på sone med parkeringsforbud for liten elektrisk motorvogn». It does not end automatically at an intersection.

Can I park in a specially designated space within the zone?

Yes, if the signs at that location establish a different rule permitting parking. In that case, the local regulation takes precedence over the prohibition indicated by the zone sign at that particular location.
