Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo, you are driving along a street in town on a priority road; on the right there are signs D-1 and B-21, in front of you is a junction, and just beyond it there is a bus stop with a shelter. You are not allowed to stop the vehicle on the roadway directly beyond this junction. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits stopping a vehicle at a junction and at a distance of less than 10 m from a junction - the ban applies on both sides of it, including beyond it. In addition, stopping at a distance of less than 15 m from the post or board of a stop is prohibited. A car standing just beyond the junction blocks the view of drivers pulling out and forces those turning to brake suddenly. Only beyond the stop, in a place where you will not obstruct traffic, do you stop.
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 1 point 1 and 9 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
