The term clearway is used in several Commonwealth countries to refer to stretches of road or street where parking is prohibited.
In Australia, a clearway is a special road upon which only taxis and buses may stop at the kerb on certain times of the day.
Larger white signs with black or red text indicating the details of the clearway are also sometimes found, featuring an image of the red and blue circle (as on the regular signs) as a prominent feature.
