Practice question

How close to a public transportation stop is stopping or parking allowed?

  1. 15 meters (45 feet)
  2. 5 meters (15 feet)
  3. 2 meters (6 feet)
  4. 10 meters (30 feet)

Answer: A — 15 meters (45 feet)

Stopping or parking is generally allowed at a distance of 15 meters (45 feet) from a public transportation stop. This regulation is in place to ensure that public transport vehicles, such as buses and trams, can operate safely and efficiently without obstruction. Maintaining this distance helps prevent accidents and ensures that passengers can board and disembark from public transport vehicles safely. By keeping a significant distance from the transportation stop, drivers facilitate better visibility for both themselves and passengers, reducing the likelihood of collisions and ensuring that the flow of traffic can continue uninterrupted. This regulation is especially important in busy urban areas where the movement of public transport can be significantly affected by parked vehicles.
