No Parking on Odd Dates
The specific regulations for sign C35, prohibiting parking of vehicles, also apply to this sign.
When You See This Sign
When you see the sign, do not park on the side or section indicated by the sign on odd-date days. Check for supplementary plates with arrows or times and move your car before the date changes to an odd date if you are parked.
Rules & Regulations
- The sign prohibits parking on days with odd dates (1, 3, 5 … 31). The prohibition applies during the calendar day that is odd, from midnight to midnight, unless a supplementary time sign indicates otherwise.
- The rules for sign C35 (prohibition of parking vehicles) also apply here — it is permitted to stop briefly for boarding or alighting and generally for loading or unloading if it does not obstruct traffic, but you may not leave the car parked.
- The sign's effect applies in the direction and on the side indicated by the arrow/placement; supplementary plates with arrows show whether the prohibition applies to one side, along a specific section, or at certain times.
- If you park before midnight and the date then changes to an odd date, the car must be moved before the prohibition period begins to avoid fines or towing.
Tips for Drivers
- Always check the date and set a phone reminder if you park near midnight — it's easy to forget to move the car when the date changes.
- Look for supplementary signs (e.g. arrows or timetables) that specify which stretches or times the prohibition applies to; otherwise the sign applies to the side where it is mounted.
- If in doubt, park on the opposite side of the street or in a parking area where there are no odd-/even-date rules to avoid the risk of fines.
Common Mistakes
- Confusing this sign with a prohibition on stopping (temporary stopping). The sign prohibits parking, not necessarily short stops for boarding and alighting.
- Believing the sign automatically applies to both sides of the street. It normally only applies to the side where the sign is posted or according to the arrows on the sign.
- Forgetting to move the car at the date change (past midnight) and thinking it's okay to stay because you parked the day before.

- B Parking is prohibited on even-numbered days.
- C Stopping and parking are prohibited regardless of date.
- D Only short-term parking is allowed.
Exam Tip
A common theory test question is whether the sign applies all day and what happens if the car remains past midnight — the correct answer is that it applies for the entire calendar day (00:00–24:00) and you must move the car before the date becomes odd to avoid an infringement.
Did You Know?
Sign C36 is often used in cities to allow snow clearing and waste collection by alternating parking on odd and even dates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the sign apply all day?
Yes, without a specific time plate the prohibition applies during the entire odd calendar day, normally from 00:00 to 24:00. If a time plate is mounted under the sign, you should follow the indicated times instead.
How do I know which side of the street the sign applies to?
The sign generally applies to the side where it is posted. Arrow markings on the sign can show whether the prohibition applies along a certain stretch or in a particular direction, so check the direction of the arrows.
May I stop to drop off or unload when the sign is up?
Yes, short stops for boarding and alighting and in many cases loading or unloading are permitted even where parking is prohibited, provided you do not leave the vehicle unattended or obstruct traffic. However, if specific no-stopping rules are indicated, those apply.
