- Parking reserved for the vehicle category indicated on the sign
Parking reserved for the vehicle category indicated on the sign The vehicle category shown determines who may park; it is not a general parking place.
How to recognise the sign
Read the image, arrows and any text on sign E8; they distinguish this version within the parking and stopping category.
Supplementary panel and application
Check the indicated vehicle group, parking arrangement and any days or hours. The sign and supplementary panel together establish the parking arrangement here.
Difference from E8a — Camper van parking
E8: Parking reserved for the vehicle category indicated on the sign E8a: Parking reserved for campervans. Read the separate application of E8a too; similar appearance does not mean identical meaning.
