In this situation, are you allowed to park the vehicle on the pavement on the right side at the distance of 11 meters from the sign indicating a bus stop?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street among trees and passing a bus stop on the right, marked with sign D-15 and bus stop line P-17 on the roadway. You are not allowed to park on the pavement on the right side 11 m from the bus stop sign - the ban covers 15 m from the post or board of the stop. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits stopping a vehicle less than 15 m from the post or board marking a stop, and at a stop with a bus bay - along its entire length. The ban on stopping naturally also covers parking; it applies to the whole road, so also to the pavement, and it is meant to protect the space for the bus and for passengers getting on and off. The Regulation on road signs and signals states that line P-17 marks the place of the stop and means a ban on stopping other vehicles along its entire length. You park only beyond the end of the line and at least 15 m from the sign.
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 1 point 9 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 90 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
