What the exam asks about this sign

The exam asks what to do in a parking-disc zone: park with a blue parking disc set to the arrival time rounded up to the next half hour, within the time the sign allows. Without a disc you park illegally, even in a bay. Trap: candidates think the disc is also required outside the stated hours; then you may simply park.
