What does a white parking zone signify?

A white parking zone signifies that it is designated for passenger or mail loading. This means that drivers are allowed to stop briefly in this area to pick up or drop off passengers or to load and unload mail, but it is not intended for long-term parking. The purpose of the white zone is to facilitate quick and efficient loading without causing significant traffic disruption.

The other options do not accurately reflect the purpose of a white zone. Free parking for anyone would typically be indicated by different signage or markings rather than a white zone. Long-term parking would generally not be permitted in a white zone, as the focus here is specifically on short stops. Emergency vehicle parking is usually designated by different colors, such as red or yellow, which specifically indicate restrictions for emergency vehicles.
