Where:
This sign is displayed on public roads or in designated parking areas where parking bays are clearly demarcated and time restrictions apply.

It is commonly found,
    In town centres, shopping districts, and business areas,
    Near municipal buildings, schools, or hospitals,
    In short-term parking zones close to shops or offices, and
    In controlled parking areas where authorities regulate parking turnover.

Purpose:
The purpose of this sign is to indicate a designated parking area where vehicles are allowed to park for a limited period of time, as shown on the sign or supplementary plate.
It may also specify whether a parking fee is required.

The sign helps to
    Ensure fair use of parking spaces by preventing long-term occupation,
    Encourage parking turnover in busy areas where demand is high,
    Regulate parking duration to improve traffic flow and access, and
    Provide clear information on whether parking is free or subject to a tariff.
    The sign usually includes additional information, such as the maximum parking duration (e.g., 30 min, 1 hour, or 2 hours), and sometimes     the operating hours during which the restriction applies.

Action:
Park only within demarcated bays and ensure your vehicle does not obstruct traffic or other parked vehicles.
Observe the time limit displayed on the sign, for example, "1 hour" means you may not park for more than one continuous hour.
Check for any supplementary signs indicating whether a parking fee must be paid, and pay the tariff if required (e.g., at a meter or ticket machine).
Do not exceed the indicated time limit, even if no fee is charged.
Vacate the bay promptly once your allowed time has expired to avoid fines or towing.
