Zorluk: ZorWaiting and Parking

A delivery driver arrives outside a commercial property to unload heavy merchandise. The edge of the carriageway is marked with a single continuous yellow line, and the kerb features pairs of short yellow stripes (double blips) marked at intervals along its top and vertical face. Which waiting or loading rule applies to this driver?

  1. A
    The driver may unload goods only during the off-peak hours specified on the nearest single yellow line time plate.
  2. The driver is strictly prohibited from stopping to load or unload goods at any time.Cevap
  3. C
    The driver may unload goods for up to 20 minutes provided the vehicle hazard warning lights are activated.
  4. D
    The driver may unload goods freely because double kerb blips only apply to passenger vehicles rather than commercial deliveries.

Cevap

The driver is strictly prohibited from stopping to load or unload goods at any time.
Under UK Highway Code Rule 238, two short yellow stripes (blips) on the kerb denote that loading and unloading is prohibited at all times. While a single continuous yellow line along the edge of the carriageway restricts waiting during the hours displayed on an upright time plate, kerb blips govern loading and unloading separately. Because double kerb blips establish a continuous 24-hour loading ban, the driver cannot stop to unload merchandise at any point.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the meaning of the single continuous yellow line on the carriageway edge.
A single yellow line indicates that waiting (parking) restrictions apply during specific operational hours shown on an accompanying upright sign plate.
Road edge lines govern general waiting permissions and restrictions.
2
Identify the meaning of the double yellow stripes (blips) on the kerb.
Pairs of short yellow stripes marked across the kerb mean no loading or unloading at any time.
Kerb markings specifically regulate loading and unloading activities independently of waiting rules.
3
Synthesise the combined restrictions for the driver's planned activity.
Because the driver intends to unload goods and the kerb markings enforce an absolute 24/7 loading ban, stopping to unload is strictly prohibited.
Loading prohibitions on the kerb strictly prevent unloading regardless of what general waiting rules allow.
