What is the meaning of the marking inside the red circle?

[MacEmersyn]

The marking inside the red circle indicates a bay-style bus stop, which can also be understood as a no-parking zone. It refers to a public transport stop that partially widens the roadway on the outer side of the traffic lane—this is called a 'bay-style bus stop.' Its basic form involves the road surface cutting into the sidewalk by 3 meters, forming a parking bay over 90 meters in length. The differences between bay-style stops and direct stops are as follows: 1. Direct stops: Vehicles stop directly within the traffic lane, occupying the driving lane when parked. These are commonly used on urban arterial roads, major roads, and branch roads with dedicated bus lanes. 2. Bay-style stops: Typically used on urban arterial roads without dedicated bus lanes, main roads with bidirectional four-lane configurations, and some secondary roads with high traffic volume.
