Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a street among detached houses with sign B-33 "40"; the road is two-way, with one lane in each direction, and ahead of you there is a pedestrian crossing. You must not park at the right edge immediately after this 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 this ban also applies after the crossing. On such a road, a car standing just after the crossing would hide the crossing from drivers coming from the opposite direction, for whom this is the zone 10 m before the crossing. The ban on stopping covers parking. So you park at least 10 m after the crossing, and if the road has more lanes, the ban after the crossing does not apply, although common sense still tells you to keep pedestrians visible.
