The voluntary stopping of vehicles is also prohibited in the places where the overtaking maneuver is prohibited. For example, when encountering the sign “Overtaking of motor vehicles, except motorcycles without a sidecar, prohibited”, since the overtaking maneuver is prohibited, the stopping maneuver is also prohibited. In these places where the overtaking maneuver is prohibited, the prohibition of stopping is welcome, considering that if we stop we will force the one driving behind us to overtake, although he is not allowed to perform this maneuver in that place.
In the action area of the “No waiting” sign, waiting is prohibited, stopping is not prohibited. It must be known that the difference between stopping and waiting consists of the duration of time for which the vehicle is immobilized. An immobilization of the vehicle of up to 5 minutes is called stopping, and if it lasts more than 5 minutes, it is called waiting. Therefore, if the immobilization of the vehicle is up to 5 minutes, it is called stopping and is allowed in places where waiting is prohibited.
At the entrances that serve the properties adjacent to the public road, only waiting is prohibited, stopping being allowed. It must be known that the difference between stopping and waiting consists of the duration of time for which the vehicle is immobilized. An immobilization of the vehicle of up to 5 minutes is called stopping, and if it lasts more than 5 minutes, it is called waiting. Therefore, if the immobilization of the vehicle is up to 5 minutes, it is called stopping and is allowed in places where waiting is prohibited.
