In this situation, does the vertical sign "stopping prohibited" apply also to a soft shoulder?
Description
§ 28 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended) in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 of the Act of 20 June 1997 – Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws 2012, item 1137 and 1448)
Explanation
Correct answer: Yes
The B-36 'no stopping' sign visible on the right in the last frames of the film applies to the side of the road on which it is placed. Since the road includes not only the carriageway but also the shoulder, this prohibition applies there as well. According to § 28 para. 1 pt. 1 of the Regulation, stopping the vehicle on the unpaved shoulder in this situation is prohibited.
