Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
On the right there is a bus stop marked with sign D-15, and bus stop line P-17 in a zigzag shape is painted on the roadway. The stop is only for buses and other public transport vehicles. Even a short stop to drop off a passenger is prohibited here.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits stopping a vehicle less than 15 m from the post or board that marks a stop, and at a stop with a lay-by - along its whole length. The Regulation on road signs and signals adds that line P-17 marks the place of the stop and means that the ban on stopping for other vehicles applies along the whole length of this line. You drop off the passenger only at a place where stopping is allowed.
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 1 point 9 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 51 para. 1 and § 90 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
