Parking bays or parking lanes

Parking bays or parking lanes are frequently found along the carriageway. You are permitted to park here. Parking bays or lanes are indicated by a blue traffic sign with a white letter “P” on it.

Do you see a parking bay in a photo from the CBR, but don’t see a blue traffic sign with a white “P”? Then it’s not a parking bay, but a refuge area. You may only stop or park here in case of an emergency, or call 112!

Article 1 of the Road Traffic Regulations (RVV).
Parking bay or parking lane: a paved area along the carriageway intended for stationary or parked vehicles.
