Delaware Driver Education State Practice Test

Where are you prohibited from stopping, standing, or parking?

1. In areas with a stop sign

2. Where indicated by posted signs

3. On one-way streets

4. At marked pedestrian crossings

The correct answer is: Where indicated by posted signs

Stopping, standing, or parking is prohibited where indicated by posted signs because these signs are specifically placed to maintain traffic flow and ensure safety on the road. These signs often convey rules that restrict stopping or parking due to various factors such as high traffic volume, bus routes, or proximity to intersections, and they help prevent obstructions that could lead to accidents. In contrast, other options do not universally prohibit stopping, standing, or parking. For instance, while areas with a stop sign indicate where vehicles must yield or stop, they do not inherently prohibit parking. One-way streets can have designated parking areas where stopping is allowed, as long as it complies with local regulations. Lastly, at marked pedestrian crossings, drivers are required to yield to pedestrians, but that does not impose a blanket ban on stopping or parking unless otherwise stated by signage.
