You want to stop at the edge of the road inside a school zone to drop off your child. There is no safety sign permitting stopping or parking. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is in lane 2 with the right turn signal on, about to stop at the edge
- School zone (speed limit 30 km/h)
- Children on the sidewalk on the right
- No safety sign permitting stopping or parking
In a school zone both stopping and parking are prohibited, except where a safety sign permits them (Article 32, item 8 and Article 34-2(2) of the Road Traffic Act). Briefly dropping someone off is still a stop, and turning on hazard lights does not make it allowed.
Answer: ①, ④
Explanation
You must not stop or park in a school zone designated by the local authority (Road Traffic Act Article 32, item 8); the only exception is where safety signs permit stopping or parking (Article 34-2(2)). A brief drop-off still counts as stopping, so hazard lights do not make it allowed, and stopping in the middle of a lane is even more dangerous. In the zone, keep to the speed limit and drive with attention to children's safety (Article 12(3)).
