After the visible sign, are you allowed to stop the vehicle for more than 1 minute?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are driving along a street between brick houses in a town; on the right there is sign B-36 "no stopping", and under it D-6 "pedestrian crossing". Beyond the visible sign, you are not allowed to keep your vehicle at a standstill for more than one minute. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-36 "no stopping" means that stopping a vehicle is prohibited, and that this ban applies to the side of the road on which the sign is placed and is valid up to the nearest junction or until cancelled, unless a plate shows otherwise. The Road Traffic Act distinguishes between stopping - a standstill of a vehicle that does not result from traffic conditions or traffic rules and lasts no longer than one minute - and parking, that is a standstill for more than one minute. Since B-36 prohibits even a short stop, it certainly prohibits parking; sign B-35 "no parking" would be less strict and would allow you to stop briefly for up to one minute. The ban under B-36 does not apply to a stop forced by traffic, for example before a crossing to let a pedestrian go. If you want to let a passenger out or park, you do it only beyond the junction or on the other side of the street, where there is no sign.
Legal basis: § 28 para. 2-4 and § 32 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 2 point 29 and 30 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
