Question 1188 in the bank

When a public vehicle lets off passengers - is it regarded as stopping?

  1. At first it is regarded as stopping and later on as parking.
  2. Correct answer: Yes, it is regarded as stopping.
  3. No, it is not regarded as stopping.
  4. No, it is regarded as parking.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, it is regarded as stopping.

Under Israeli traffic definitions, stopping means halting a vehicle only for the time needed to pick up or let off passengers, or to load and unload. Parking means leaving a vehicle standing for any other purpose. So a public vehicle letting off passengers is stopping, not parking, as long as it stands only for the time this takes.
