Is it only permitted to stop in the designated areas, in the area you have entered?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video we enter a housing estate street with sign D-40 "residential area"; along the roadway, cars are parked in marked spaces on both sides. In this zone parking is allowed only in designated places - the answer is YES.
Sign D-40 marks the entrance to a residential area. The Road Traffic Act prohibits parking in a residential area anywhere other than in places designated for this purpose, so you leave a moped or a quadricycle only in a designated parking space. In a residential area a pedestrian may use the whole width of the road and has right of way over vehicles, and the speed limit is 20 km/h. A vehicle parked just anywhere could hide children playing or make it difficult for people to walk through. The zone ends only at sign D-41 "end of residential area".
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 2 point 4, Art. 11 para. 5 and Art. 20 para. 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 58 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
