How the exam asks it

About Stopping and parking bans without a sign: where they always apply: which statement is WRONG?

  1. Vs p.163 - the intersection itself is a stopping ban (never stop).
  2. A parking-ban sign on the road also applies inside the parking bay next to it.
  3. The stopping ban at a bus stop applies along the block marking, or within 12 metres of the sign if that marking is absent.
  4. A stopping ban forbids any interruption of the driving movement, even a few seconds.
Show the answer

Correct answer: A parking-ban sign on the road also applies inside the parking bay next to it.

Arking bays and parking spaces are exempt from prohibition signs. The sign on the road governs the carriageway, not the marked bay next to it

Why learners get this wrong: Within 5 metres of an intersection you may not even stop very briefly.

About Special markings: yellow lines, bus strips, block markings, filter lanes: which statement is correct?

  1. Along a yellow line you may always stop briefly, as long as you are not parking — regardless of whether the line is solid or broken.
  2. A bus strip marked 'BUS' may only be used by scheduled buses.
  3. During roadworks the permanent white marking keeps applying alongside the temporary yellow marking; you must take both into account.
  4. Block markings in fact permit the opposite: drivers to the right of the marking may overtake drivers to the left of it on the right.

Correct answer: Block markings in fact permit the opposite: drivers to the right of the marking may overtake drivers to the left of it on the right.
