    Default Re: Parking in Turnouts on Two Lane Roads

    What exactly is the difference between 'no stopping' and 'no parking'
    California Vehicle Code Division 1 - Words and Phrases Defined:

    463. “Park or parking” shall mean the standing of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, otherwise than temporarily for the purpose of and while actually engaged in loading or unloading merchandise or passengers.

    587. “Stop or stopping” when prohibited shall mean any cessation of movement of a vehicle, whether occupied or not, except when necessary to avoid conflict with other traffic or in compliance with the direction of a police officer or official traffic control device or signal.
    Clears it up for me.

    If a no parking sign is posted, how far in front of and how far behind is it illegal to park?
    Depends on how the sign is worded. If it just says "No Parking" common sense tells me from corner to corner and I wouldn't park. Others may have a different interpretation and get the opportunity to explain their interpretation in court.

    Multiple law enforcement officers have admonished me for parking in a turnout on the side of a two lane state highway or other rural roadway.
    Then stop doing it.

    "My understanding"
    = "I don't know."
