Some time plates may have supplementary legends such as "except taxis" and "on school entrance markings". These legends are generally placed below the day/time/date legend and separated vertically from the line above by 1sw. An example is given in figure 12-5.

Figure 12-6 sets out basic models for waiting, stopping or loading prohibition time plates. The roundel for the waiting prohibition is taken from working drawing P 636 and reduced to the appropriate size. A diameter of 8sw is generally used where the time plate is used in conjunction with yellow road markings. Time plates that are not used with road markings (e.g. diagram 637.2) use a larger roundel size of 20 sw diameter. For the design of signs with the larger roundel, reference should be made to the working drawings, but the basic rules above for setting out time periods still apply (see also para 12.16). The roundel for the prohibition of stopping is taken from working drawing P 642 and reduced to the appropriate size. This roundel is always accompanied by the legend "No stopping".
