What is the difference between No Parking and No Stopping?
A. A “NO PARKING” sign means parking is prohibited, whether or not the vehicle is occupied, unless it is temporarily parked and actively engaged in loading and unloading passengers or merchandise. A “NO STOPPING” sign means that all stopping is prohibited, even for the loading or unloading of passengers. The only exception is to make way for emergency vehicles. Q. A neighbour has put up a new above-ground swimming pool. It is about three feet high. I'm concerned because there is no fence around it and all the kids in the neighbourhood can get into their yard. Isn't there a by-law regulating pools? A. Yes. No one may excavate for a pool or erect a pool in Oshawa without first obtaining a permit. The Pool Enclosure By-law requires that all pools be enclosed by a 1.5-metre (5 foot) fence. The fence and gates leading to the pool area must also be built according to the By-law requirements. They must be inspected and approved by Property Standards Officer before the pool is filled
