In Europe the red circle means “no [whatever is inside the circle]”. It took me a while to figure that out as a Californian.

And to make matters more confusing, a red circle crossed out means “cancel the No from before” so like the end of a loading zone or the end of a no parking zone.

    On German streets, a red circle means prohibited, but a red triangle is a warning. For parking, crossed out ones means you can stop for a few minutes, keeping the car in sight, and crossed out twice means you're not allowed to stop at all. To mark the beginning and end of a no-parking zone, we use arrows.
