C37 Prohibition Sign – No Stopping, Ø60 cm, Class I

C37 Prohibition Sign – No Stopping, Ø60 cm, Class I

The C37, the blue disc with a red border and two red bars in an X, bans stopping of any length. It is stricter than the C36, which allows stops of up to 5 minutes.

When class I is used

Class I (RA1) sheeting returns 70 cd/(lx·m²) for white to the driver and has a 7-year service life, enough on roads where headlights are the only light: local, minor and private roads or quiet streets. In areas with street lighting, shop windows, advertising and dense urban traffic, however, SR 1848-2 requires prismatic class 2 or 3 sheeting. The class II version is the C37_II (Ø80 cm).

Where it goes, under SR 1848-1:2024

It goes on sections where stopping is banned, under the same conditions as the C36 (no parking): with the P9 panel or the P10, P11 and P12 panels, whose arrows can also be applied straight onto the sign. The P34 (except residents) or P18 (exempted vehicle categories) additional panels can go under it.

Technical data

Mounting and size

Fixings for the post are included: 2 clamps for Ø48 mm posts and 4 bolts with nuts; clamps for Ø60 mm posts are available on request. The bottom edge of the sign goes 1.50–2.50 m above the road or kerb, and the edge nearest the road 0.50–2.0 m from the road platform. The sign must be visible from at least 50 m in built-up areas and 100 m outside them.

The post is ordered separately. For a fixed installation in a concrete foundation: the galvanised Ø48 mm post, 300 cm. For temporary use, with no foundation: the Ø48 mm tripod post, 120 cm. On concrete or paving, where you cannot dig: the Ø60 mm flange post, 300 cm, bolted down; for it, ask for the Ø60 mm clamps when you order.

The 60 cm diameter is the normal format in SR 1848-2, for county and local roads, streets and private roads open to public traffic. National roads call for the large Ø80 cm format and motorways for the very large Ø100 cm one; the standard forbids using a smaller format than the road category requires. The large Ø80 cm version with class II sheeting is the C37_II.
