what does 'No overnight parking' mean exactly? on: May 20, 2025, 06:03:32 am #1 I've seen 'No overnight parking' signs on pay and display posts. Does it mean you can not park there for the whole night, or does it mean you can not park at any time during the night? And what time is considered the start and end of the night?Thanks! Logged

The parking prohibition signs on the A20 in Kent are time-specific, the >7.5T yellow box with an addition sign 18.40-2400, and 0001-0630. Logged Bus driving since 1973. My advice, if you have a PSV licence, destroy it when you get to 65 or you'll be forever in demand.
