Which sign would indicate parking restricted to permit holders?

• A. No parking at any time
• B. No parking during peak hours
• C. Loading zone only
• D. Parking restricted to permit holders

Answer: (D)

A sign that says parking restricted to permit holders shows that only vehicles with a valid permit may park in that area. This makes the restriction explicit: access is limited by whether you hold the permitted status, such as a resident or staff permit, and you must have the permit clearly displayed where required. This is the best choice because it directly communicates permit-based access. The other signs convey different limits: no parking at any time means parking is prohibited altogether; no parking during peak hours restricts parking only at certain times; a loading zone indicates space for loading or unloading, not general parking. None of those imply that only permit holders may park. In practice, if you don’t have the required permit, you should avoid parking there and look for a permitted area. If you do have the permit, ensure you’re complying with any time limits or display requirements attached to that permit.
