Where is stopping prohibited?

Stopping is prohibited in specific areas to ensure the safety and smooth flow of traffic.

1. Outside parking areas on autobahns and clearways for motor vehicles only: Stopping in these areas can lead to dangerous situations for both the stopped vehicle and other road users. It can obstruct the fast-moving traffic and increase the risk of accidents.

2. Near or on sharp bends: Stopping near sharp bends can create visibility problems for other vehicles, making it difficult for drivers to react in time. This can lead to serious accidents, particularly if oncoming traffic doesn't have enough warning of a stationary vehicle.

Recognizing these areas for prohibited stopping is crucial for maintaining road safety and preventing traffic congestion. By selecting all relevant options, drivers can ensure they are adhering to traffic regulations that protect everyone on the road.
