Is stopping on the roadside to drop off passengers a traffic violation?

[Lance]

If there is no no-parking sign at the location where the vehicle stops, it is not considered a violation. However, if there is a no-parking sign at the intersection where the vehicle stops, then it constitutes a traffic violation. Places where parking is prohibited: Sections of road with no-parking signs or markings, sections with separation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, construction zones, intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, bridges, steep slopes, etc. If a motor vehicle is parked or temporarily stopped at a location with no-parking signs or markings, a small fine will be imposed and 3 points will be deducted from the driver's license. For violations of parking or temporary stopping regulations, the on-duty traffic police may point out the illegal act and order the driver to leave immediately. If the driver is not present or refuses to leave immediately despite being present, in addition to a fine, the illegally parked vehicle may be towed. Introduction to temporary stopping: Temporary stopping refers to when a vehicle is parked on the right side of the road in the direction of travel for a short period without the driver leaving the vehicle, such as for dropping off passengers or loading/unloading goods, in areas where parking is not prohibited. Temporary stopping does not mean parking arbitrarily; failure to comply with these regulations is also a traffic violation.
