Are you allowed to park the vehicle on the roadway in this place?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street past old tenement houses; the roadway has one lane in each direction, separated by a double solid line, and cars are parked on the pavement on the right. You are not allowed to park on the roadway at this place - a parked car would force others to drive onto the solid line. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits stopping a vehicle on the roadway along a solid line and near its end points, if this would force other drivers of multi-track vehicles to drive onto this line; the ban on stopping also covers parking. The lane here is too narrow to go around a parked car without driving onto the double solid line, which the Regulation on road signs and signals prohibits driving onto. That is why drivers in this street park passenger cars fully on the pavement - this is allowed by the edge of the roadway if the pavement is at least 1.5 m wide, parking does not obstruct pedestrians and signs do not prohibit it.
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 1 point 4 and Art. 47 para. 1 and 2 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 86 para. 5 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
