Question 3973

Parking is considered to seriously obstruct traffic when it takes place...

  1. in areas marked for the exclusive use of people with disabilities.
  2. in the middle of the roadway.
  3. with the vehicle double-parked, even if the driver remains inside it.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: in the middle of the roadway.

A vehicle parked in the middle of the roadway takes up the space other vehicles use, and the rules list this as parking that seriously obstructs traffic. Double-parking is also on that list, but only when the vehicle is left without its driver. Parking without authorization in a space for people with disabilities is prohibited and is a serious violation, although it is not included among those cases.
