Question 921 in the bank

What characterizes the following road?

A narrow tree-lined city street with a white van parked on the left and a row of parked cars on the right; no pedestrians visible.
  1. It is a play street. You should adjust your speed appropriately, up to a maximum of 40 k.p.h.
  2. The absence of pedestrians on the roadway; hence there is no risk of being surprised by them. All is in order.
  3. Correct answer: It is an urban road with parked vehicles, and pedestrians might emerge from between the parked vehicles.
  4. The roadway looks very wide and no surprises are expected.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: It is an urban road with parked vehicles, and pedestrians might emerge from between the parked vehicles.

This is a narrow urban street lined with parked vehicles on both sides. Parked cars, especially a tall van, hide pedestrians and children who may suddenly step into the road. Not seeing pedestrians right now does not mean there is no risk, so slow down, stay alert and be ready to stop. Nothing in the picture indicates a play street.
