Are vehicles, which carry children to schools and pre-schools allowed to stop in the place marked by this bus stop line?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
YES
Explanation
In the video you are driving along a wide road and approaching a stop with a shelter and a bus stop sign, and on the roadway next to the shelter a zigzag bus stop line is painted. At such a place, vehicles carrying children to schools and pre-schools are allowed to stop - the answer is YES.
The Regulation on road signs states that the bus stop line P-17 marks the place on the roadway where the vehicles for which bus stop D-15 is intended stop, and prohibits other vehicles from stopping along the whole length of the line. The rule on sign D-15 lists among these vehicles not only buses on regular routes, but also vehicles intended for carrying children to schools and pre-schools. That is why a bus bringing pupils may stop here, so that children can get on and off at a safe, marked place and not on the shoulder. An ordinary passenger car or a lorry does not have this right, even for a moment.
Legal basis: § 51 para. 1 and 2 and § 90 para. 1 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
