This marking prohibits the maneuver of waiting, it does not also prohibit the maneuver of stopping. The marking made 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 have, in addition to the zigzag line, also the inscription “Bus”, “Taxi” or “Tram”, on these both the maneuver of waiting and the maneuver of stopping are prohibited.
