Can you park the car at a distance of 5 m from a pedestrian crossing?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street in a town past a bus stop marked with a bus stop line, beyond which there is a pedestrian crossing with sign D-6. In this situation you do not have the right to park 5 m before the crossing. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits stopping a vehicle on a pedestrian crossing and less than 10 m before it, and on a two-way road with two lanes - also after the crossing; since stopping is prohibited, parking is certainly prohibited too. A car parked 5 m before the crossing hides a pedestrian stepping onto the crossing from drivers, and hides approaching vehicles from the pedestrian. In addition, there is a bus stop nearby, where stopping is prohibited within 15 m of the sign. You look for a parking place further on, outside these zones.
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 1 point 2 and 9 and Art. 2 point 29 and 30 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym)
