Beyond this sign, are you allowed to stop in any place by the right edge of the roadway to drop off a passenger?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo on the right there is sign D-37 "tunnel", and in front of you is the entrance to a tunnel. If you want to drop off a passenger, you cannot stop beyond this sign at any place by the right edge of the roadway, because stopping a vehicle in a tunnel is forbidden. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act lists a tunnel, a bridge and a viaduct among the places where stopping a vehicle is forbidden, and the Regulation on road signs and signals says that D-37 means the entrance to a tunnel. A car standing in a tunnel blocks a lane, and in case of fire it makes evacuation and access for the emergency services more difficult. You drop off the passenger before the sign or only after sign D-38 "end of tunnel", at a place where you will not obstruct traffic.
