Question 4

RED

Answer 4

No stopping, standing, or parking. (A bus may stop at a red zone marked for buses.)

Question 5

BLUE

Answer 5

Blue curbs indicate parking for the disabled. You must have a DMV-issued placard (window sign) or your license plates must be specially marked to park here. The blue disabled symbol also marks parking spaces and special access areas for disabled people.

Placard abuse (i.e., loaning your placard to a friend or family member, or using somebody’s placard) can result in the loss of special parking privileges. It is a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine of up to $1,000, imprisonment for up to six months, or both.
