Is it permitted to stop at an intersection situated in an urban area?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

As a general rule, stopping or parking at an intersection is prohibited because it reduces visibility and hinders traffic. However, the General Traffic Regulations establish a specific exception for urban roads. In built-up areas, stopping and parking at intersections (and their vicinity) is allowed provided that no danger is created and the turning maneuver of other vehicles is not obstructed. If your vehicle prevents another road user (especially large vehicles like buses or trucks) from turning correctly, the maneuver would be prohibited.
