Is it allowed in this situation to stop the vehicle on the lane between the roadways?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you pass sign D-43 "end of built-up area" and drive on a dual carriageway; on the left, between the roadways, there is a grass central reservation. Stopping a vehicle on the area between the roadways is prohibited, whether you are in a built-up area or outside it. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act lists the area between the roadways among the places where stopping a vehicle is prohibited, along with junctions, pedestrian crossings and tunnels. The central reservation is not a part of the road intended for vehicles: to get onto it you must cross the left edge of the roadway, and a car standing there surprises drivers on both roadways. You plan to park in a car park or, outside a built-up area, on the shoulder at the right edge.
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 1 point 8 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 58 para. 3 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
