Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving onto a cobbled bridge in the rain, with stone railings on both sides. You must not stop a vehicle on a bridge, even for a moment to drop off passengers. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act lists a tunnel, a bridge and a flyover among the places where stopping a vehicle is prohibited - and stopping means any halt of up to one minute, so also dropping off a passenger quickly. A bridge is narrow, there is no room to go around a car standing on it, and such a car blocks the lane and the view. The only exception is stopping forced by traffic conditions, for example a traffic jam. You drop off passengers before the bridge or after it, at a place where you will not obstruct traffic.
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 1 point 3 and para. 4 and Art. 2 point 29 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
