Is stopping to drop off passengers considered illegal parking?
1 Answers
Stopping temporarily on the road without obstructing other vehicles and pedestrians is not considered illegal parking. 1. Parking is divided into temporary stopping and vehicle parking: The distinction between parking and temporary stopping mainly depends on whether the driver leaves the vehicle. For example, briefly stopping by the roadside with the driver remaining in the vehicle to drop off passengers or load/unload items and then immediately driving away is considered temporary stopping. 2. Article 56 of the Road Traffic Safety Law stipulates: Motor vehicles should be parked in designated areas, and parking on sidewalks is prohibited, except in legally marked parking spaces. Temporary stopping on the road must not obstruct other vehicles and pedestrians.
