Are you permitted to stop on the left-hand edge of the carriageway at this point?

Description

Road Traffic Act of June 20, 1997 (Journal of Laws 1997 No. 98 item 602 as amended)

Explanation

Correct answer: No

The road shown is outside a built-up area, and stopping a vehicle at the left edge of the carriageway on a two-way road is permitted only in built-up areas. According to Art. 46 para. 3 of the Road Traffic Act, in this situation, you are not allowed to use the left side of the road to stop. Outside built-up areas, you must stop at the right edge of the carriageway or on the hard shoulder.
