The meaning of prohibition or restriction signs begins at their position. In the absence of signalling that specifies the length of the section to which the regulation applies or of signs that announce the end of the prohibition or restriction, the meaning of these signs ceases at the nearest intersection.
For example, the area of action of the “No stopping” sign begins at its position and, if installed alone, stopping is prohibited up to the corner of the first intersection, regardless of the length of the section. It may be accompanied by additional panels: the “Arrow pointing upwards” panel indicates the beginning of the area of action, the “Arrow with two points, one upwards and one downwards” confirms the area of action, and the “Arrow pointing downwards” signifies the end of the area of action of the sign. Also, the sign may be accompanied by an additional panel “Arrow pointing upwards” which signifies the beginning of the area of action and specifies, in meters, the distance of action of the sign.
Thus, in the absence of signalling that specifies the length of the regulated sector or of a sign that announces the end of the prohibition or restriction, the meaning of these signs ceases at the nearest intersection.
The correct answer is: C
Regulation** - Article 66
[...]
(6) The meaning of prohibition or restriction signs begins at their position. In the absence of signalling that specifies the length of the section to which the regulation applies or of signs that announce the end of the prohibition or restriction, the meaning of these signs ceases in the nearest intersection. When prohibition or restriction signs are installed together with the sign announcing entry into a locality, their meaning is valid on that road until encountering the “Exit from locality” sign, except in places where other signs provide otherwise.
** Regulation = REGULATION for the implementation of OUG 195/2002 updated (Road Code Regulation)
