Question 1261 in the bank

Is a minibus permitted to enter a road on which the following road sign is placed?

A white-bordered blue square sign showing a white tram, a bus, a yellow taxi roof sign reading taxi, and a car beside 4+.
  1. Correct answer: Yes, under its definition as a bus and according to the provisions of the sign.
  2. Yes, because all vehicles are permitted to drive on that road.
  3. No, because it doesn’t carry the number of passengers required by the sign.
  4. No, because a minibus without passengers does not serve as a bus.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: Yes, under its definition as a bus and according to the provisions of the sign.

The sign allows trams, buses, taxis, and private cars carrying four or more people. A minibus is legally defined as a bus, so it may enter. The minimum number of occupants applies only to the private car shown on the sign, not to buses. The sign does not open the road to all vehicles, only to the types it shows.

Topic: Traffic signs. The bank marks it for these classes: Bus (D).
