Question 1268 in the bank

Is a bus weighing 4500kilos permitted to park within the limits of the following road sign?

A blue rectangle with a white border. At the top is a white letter P inside a gate-like shape. At the bottom is a white car, seen from behind, with one side raised onto a curb.
  1. Yes.
  2. Yes, but only on weekdays from 21:00 until 05:30.
  3. Correct answer: No.
  4. Yes, but only on weekends.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: No.

The sign allows parking with part of the vehicle up on the sidewalk, but only for certain types of vehicle, and a bus is not among them. Even a bus with a total weight of 4500 kg may not park this way. The sign has no hour or day restriction that allows it for a bus, either at night or on weekends.

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