Is it permitted to stop or park the vehicle on a pedestrian crossing?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that it is strictly prohibited. According to Traffic Regulations, both stopping (voluntary immobilization for less than 2 minutes) and parking are forbidden on pedestrian crossings. The main reason is safety: a vehicle on the crossing obstructs pedestrian traffic and, more dangerously, reduces visibility for both the pedestrian and other drivers, increasing the risk of accidents. While stopping is allowed in the vicinity of the crossing (if it does not create danger), it is totally banned on the road marking itself.
