Are you allowed to park the vehicle in the presented lay-by?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, on the right side of the street, you can see a lay-by, and next to it a post with sign D-15 "bus stop". The lay-by is for buses to stop at the bus stop; parking in it is prohibited along its whole length. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits stopping a vehicle less than 15 m from the post or board marking a stop, and at a stop with a lay-by - along the whole length of the lay-by. Since even stopping is prohibited, parking there is certainly not allowed. A car in the lay-by forces the bus to stop on the roadway, and passengers to get on between cars - that is why such parking can lead to a fine and towing away.
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 1 point 9 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 51 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
