On unlit road sections stopping is NOT prohibited. Moreover, it is not specified whether the situation occurs during the day or at night. We must keep in mind that when we are waiting on the carriageway of an unlit road, at night, in a place where this maneuver is permitted, we have the obligation to use the position lights or parking lights.
Traffic legislation does not prohibit stopping at a distance of less than 5 meters from the rear of a tram, there is no article in the legislation that specifies this. But we must keep in mind that stopping is prohibited in the stations of public transport vehicles of persons, as well as at less than 25 m before and after them. The legislation also specifies that when you encounter a tram stopped in a station without a refuge for pedestrians, you are obliged to stop behind the tram, and you may resume your movement only after the tram doors have been closed and you have made sure that you do not endanger the safety of pedestrians engaged in crossing the public road.
