The question “Where is it forbidden to stop?” may come up more often in the theoretical driving test. We show you the right answers.
Theoretical driving test: Where is it forbidden to stop?
In many situations, it is relatively clear exactly where stopping is prohibited in road traffic. However, the theoretical test also mentions many special cases that we are less likely to encounter in everyday life. Stopping is prohibited in the following situations:
- On pedestrian crossings and up to five meters in front of them
- On merging and exit lanes
- On marked lanes with directional arrows
- On the carriageway if there is a suitable hard shoulder on the right
- At cab ranks
- At railroad crossings
- On narrow or unclear road sections – a minimum width of three meters must remain, and a distance of eight meters must be maintained on lanes with cycle paths on the right!
- On sharp bends and officially marked fire department access roads, as these are relevant special cases
- On freeways and motorways, also on hard shoulders
- Within a traffic circle
- Up to ten meters in front of certain traffic signs such as traffic lights or St. Andrew’s crosses.
Where is stopping prohibited? The wrong answers
If you have problems remembering all the answers to this question, you can also do it the other way round.
Instead of the correct answers, you can memorize the few incorrect answers. Holding is permitted in the following situations:
- Over manhole covers (but only if it is permitted by traffic signs or markings on the sidewalk)
- Immediately behind crosswalks
- In front of entrances and exits to properties
