Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a road through a forest behind other cars; on the left side, separated by a grass strip, runs a red cycle path. You are not allowed to park your vehicle on the cycle path. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits stopping a vehicle on a shared footway and cycle path, on a cycle path, in a cycle lane and in an advanced stop line for cyclists (bike box), except for a bicycle; the ban on stopping naturally also covers parking. A cycle path is intended only for cyclists - a car parked on it forces them to move onto the roadway among cars, and on a road outside town this is a real danger. In addition, stopping on the left side of the roadway outside a built-up area is prohibited, and entering a cycle path marked with sign C-13 is not allowed for other vehicles. You park in a forest car park or in a designated lay-by.
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 1 point 7 and 11 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 37 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
