If you encounter a continuous yellow line painted on the curb or on the edge of the roadway, what restriction does it establish?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is that it prohibits both stopping and parking. As an expert, you should remember the golden rule of yellow road markings: Continuous Yellow Line: This is the most restrictive. It prohibits any voluntary immobilization of the vehicle along the entire length of the line; meaning, you cannot stop (less than 2 minutes with the driver inside) nor park. Broken (Dashed) Yellow Line: This is less restrictive and only prohibits parking, allowing for momentary stopping. Therefore, the options suggesting it only prohibits one of the two maneuvers are incomplete or incorrect.
