California Vehicle Code Division 1 - Words and Phrases Defined:
Clears it up for me.
Thanks for clarifying the difference between 'no parking' and 'no stopping'.

'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.'
The idea is to avoid at minimum even having to go to court. As having to go to court is a 'penalty' - even if found not guilty.
I'm guessing the distance must be listed somewhere.

Then stop doing it.
In each case, there was nothing to indicate where I was parking was illegal. E.g. Not a close no parking or no stopping sign; and a very wide turnout.
