To regulate **stopping and parking** on the road, both **road markings** and **vertical signs** are used. These tools are essential to indicate to drivers where they can or cannot stop or park their vehicles.

- **Road markings**: These are signs painted directly on the roadway. These markings can indicate, for example, areas where parking or stopping is prohibited, such as on dangerous curves or near intersections where visibility is impaired. They can also delineate specific parking areas.

- **Vertical signs**: These are signs placed along the road that provide additional information or reinforce the indications of the road markings. These signs can indicate specific prohibitions, such as no parking in areas reserved for people with disabilities or in loading and unloading zones.

Both types of signs are complementary and necessary to ensure that drivers respect traffic rules and do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to both the markings on the ground and the vertical signs to comply with stopping and parking regulations.
