About Stopping and parking bans without a sign: where they always apply: which statement is WRONG?
- Vs p.163 - the intersection itself is a stopping ban (never stop).
- ✓ A parking-ban sign on the road also applies inside the parking bay next to it.
- The stopping ban at a bus stop applies along the block marking, or within 12 metres of the sign if that marking is absent.
- A stopping ban forbids any interruption of the driving movement, even a few seconds.
Correct answer: A parking-ban sign on the road also applies inside the parking bay next to it.
Explanation
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
- Vs p.163 - the intersection itself is a stopping ban (never stop). Less than 5 metres BEFORE it is a parking ban: briefly stopping to load/unload or drop off/pick up is allowed there
- The stopping ban at a bus stop applies along the block marking, or within 12 metres of the sign if that marking is absent. Where a marking is present, the marking itself is the boundary
- A stopping ban forbids any interruption of the driving movement, even a few seconds. At a crossing (plus 5 metres) you may never stop, not even to let someone get out
