Is stopping for 5 seconds to drop off passengers considered illegal parking?

[DelLogan]

Whether stopping for 5 seconds to drop off passengers constitutes illegal parking depends on two scenarios: 1. If there are clear no-parking signs or markings near the road section, the owner stopping to drop off passengers is considered illegal parking and may be captured; 2. Stopping for 5 seconds in a temporary parking area will not be considered illegal parking. Violating road traffic safety laws may result in the identification of the illegal act, a verbal warning, and an order to leave immediately. If the motor vehicle driver is not present or refuses to leave immediately, obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan may be imposed, and the vehicle may be towed to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a place designated by the traffic management department of the public security organ.
