Crucial Distinction

3.27 (cross 'X') forbids ANY stopping even for a single second (except emergencies). 3.28 (single slash) forbids parking (standing > 5 mins without loading/unloading or embarking passengers). 3.29/3.30 restrict parking on odd/even days.

Official Exam Trap

Exam questions ask: 'Is stopping to drop off a passenger permitted under 3.28?' Answer: YES! Under 3.28 dropping off a passenger is stopping, NOT parking. Under 3.27, it is prohibited.
