Question 7240
When is a parked vehicle considered to seriously obstruct traffic?
- When it is double-parked with no driver.
- When it is parked off the usable part of the shoulder on a road outside a built-up area.
- When it is parked in a zone reserved for loading or unloading, outside the hours of use.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: When it is double-parked with no driver.
Double-parking with no driver present blocks in the properly parked car and seriously obstructs traffic. In the image, the blue passenger car blocks the gray car's way out. On a road outside a built-up area, you must park off the usable part of the shoulder, and parking in a loading and unloading zone outside its operating hours does not count as a serious obstruction.
