Question 1257 in the bank

Is a taxi permitted to stop and load or unload passengers within the limits of the following traffic sign?

A blue circle with a red border. Across it run two red diagonal stripes separated by a white stripe, from top left to bottom right.
  1. Correct answer: Yes, but on an urban road only, and provided that no traffic disturbance is caused.
  2. No.
  3. No, except during the night.
  4. Yes, when a “bus station” sign is placed.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, but on an urban road only, and provided that no traffic disturbance is caused.

The sign prohibits stopping and parking, but a taxi may stop within its area to pick up or drop off passengers. This is allowed only on an urban road, and provided it causes no disturbance to traffic. The permission is not limited to night hours, and it does not depend on a bus station sign.
