Does this road marking designate a parking lane?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the photo you are driving along a street between blocks of flats; a white broken line is painted near the right edge of the roadway, with parked cars behind it, and on the left side of the street there is sign B-36. This road marking marks a parking lane. The answer is: yes.
The Regulation on road signs and signals states that marking P-19 "line marking a parking lane" marks a lane intended for parking vehicles along the edge of the roadway, or separates a parking bay from the roadway. The line tells you how far the parking space reaches and where the traffic lane begins; a car parked outside it narrows the roadway. Sign B-36 on the left applies only to that side of the street, because the no-stopping ban applies on the side where the sign stands. When parking, you position the car parallel to the kerb, completely inside the line, and do not stick out into the traffic lane.
Legal basis: § 90 para. 3 and § 28 para. 3 point 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
