Lesson 42 of 59 · Dutch traffic rules

Stopping or parking? Stilstaan of parkeren

De regel · The rule

Stopping (letting someone in or out, loading straight away) is not parking. E1 bans parking; E2 and a solid yellow line ban stopping too.

RVV 1990 art. 23, 24 · signs E1, E2

Why this rule exists

A quick stop blocks less than a parked car. Where even that is dangerous or blocks traffic, the sign says: no stopping at all.
