  3. No.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, if you do not encroach on the markings painted on the roadway.

The prohibition on stopping on a crosswalk does not prevent stopping beside it, outside its markings. The stop must not create danger, obstruct traffic, or block necessary visibility.
