The marking consisting of a zigzag line applied on the edge of the carriageway prohibits waiting on the section of road on which it is applied.
Attention! This prohibits the maneuver of waiting, it does not also prohibit the maneuver of stopping. The marking consisting of a zigzag line must not be confused with the marking for bus, trolleybus, taxi stations or tram stations that are not provided with a refuge for pedestrians, which, in addition to the zigzag line, also have the inscription “Bus”, “Taxi” or “Tram”. On the marking consisting of a zigzag line completed by the inscription “Bus”, “Taxi” or “Tram”, as well as at less than 25 meters before and after it, the maneuver of stopping is prohibited, as well as all maneuvers that are prohibited where the maneuver of stopping is prohibited, more precisely waiting, U-turn and moving in reverse.
In conclusion, if the marking consisting of a zigzag line is not completed by one of the inscriptions “Bus”, “Taxi” or “Tram”, only waiting is prohibited, not stopping.
