Are you allowed in this situation to drop off a passenger in this lay-by?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, you are driving on the one-way roadway of a dual carriageway; at the right edge there is sign B-36 "no stopping" with sign D-3, and further on there is a bus stop lay-by (bus bay) with a shelter and sign D-15. You are not allowed to stop in this lay-by, even for a moment, to drop off a passenger. The answer is: no.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that sign B-36 means a ban on stopping a vehicle, and the Road Traffic Act separately prohibits stopping at a stop with a lay-by along its whole length and at a distance of less than 15 m from the post or board of the stop. The lay-by is for buses: a car in it forces the bus driver to stop on the roadway, and the passengers to get on between vehicles. You drop your passenger off before sign B-36 or after the lay-by, outside the 15-metre zone.
Legal basis: § 28 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals; Art. 49 para. 1 point 9 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
