Question 7273
A parked vehicle is considered to seriously obstruct traffic when...
- it is parked on medians, traffic islands, or other traffic channelization elements.
- the distance between the vehicle and the opposite edge of the roadway is less than five meters.
- it is parked in an area reserved for loading and unloading, outside the hours of use.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: it is parked on medians, traffic islands, or other traffic channelization elements.
A traffic island, median, or divider guides traffic, and anyone who parks on one, like the gray passenger car in the image, seriously obstructs traffic. The clearance threshold is 3 meters to the opposite edge, not 5, and a loading and unloading area only counts during its designated hours.
