What does the 13c/b 'Alternative parking - No parking on even days' sign mean?

This Austrian traffic sign means you are prohibited from parking on days of the month that have an even number (e.g., the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc.). Parking is permitted on odd-numbered days, provided no other restrictions apply.

When does the restriction of the 13c/b sign start and end?

The restriction applies from the point where the sign is placed and covers the controlled zone. You must adhere to the 'no parking on even days' rule as soon as you pass the sign. The restriction ends when you are no longer in the controlled zone or when another sign cancels it.

What are common mistakes learners make with the 'No parking on even days' sign?

The primary function of the 13c/b sign is to prohibit parking on even days. Stopping or waiting might still be permitted under certain conditions, such as immediately dropping off or picking up passengers, but this depends heavily on the specific road markings and local regulations.
