Question 6392

This vehicle stopped to let a passenger get out. Is stopping in this marked area correct?

  1. Yes, because parking is prohibited but stopping is allowed.
  2. Yes, because it does not obstruct traffic.
  3. No, because it is an area where driving, stopping, and parking are prohibited.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because it is an area where driving, stopping, and parking are prohibited.

No vehicle may enter a hatched area, the area of diagonal stripes enclosed by a solid line, except vehicles that must travel on the shoulder. That means you must not stop on it even briefly to let a passenger out, as the blue passenger car in the image is doing.
