Have you ever wondered about the 'No Return Within One Hour' sign as you passed a parking sign that left you scratching your head?
You're not alone. Even seasoned drivers can struggle with cryptic road markings.
However, luckily on social media, a TikToker left viewers shocked after explaining the meaning of the 'No Return Within One Hour' sign."
Theory test guru Annie (@theorytestpractice) shared a video on TikTok that demystifies a common culprit: the 'No Return Within One Hour' sign.Annie, with over 776,000 followers.
Annie provides the answer in a viral video (over 644,000 views!), leaving viewers stunned.
This sign often appears alongside parking restrictions, leaving drivers unsure if the one-hour limit refers to their total parking duration or something else entirely.
The video has the caption:"At other times you can park for as long as you want to..."
In the viral video, Annie explained: "This sign is saying that between Monday and Saturday, you can park between 8 o'clock in the morning and 6 o'clock at night, but only for one hour.
"No return within one hour - that simply means that you're not allowed to drive out of your parking space, drive around the block, and go straight back into that parking space.
"Well, not for an hour anyway," she added.
Additionally, Annie clarifies in the video caption, outside the restricted hours (8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, Monday to Saturday), parking regulations might allow for longer durations.
Below the video, many viewers flocked to the comments section, thanking Annie for clearing up the confusion.
Some admitted they had never fully grasped the sign's meaning before. Someone else even said that Annie's explanation is a lifesaver for drivers to avoid a potential ticket.
