Question without image
This is an exam question from the Traffic Rules of Ukraine concerning safety during parking: specifically, where a parked car can create danger or inconvenience for other road users. In the theoretical exam, such tasks check whether the driver understands that parking is not just "stopping for a minute," but a cessation of movement for more than 5 minutes (definition from point 1.10 of the traffic rules), and that there are clear prohibitions for it.
The question tests knowledge of Section 15 of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine "Stopping and Parking," specifically point 15.10 (subpoints d and e). The logic is as follows: parking is prohibited where a parked vehicle actually blocks the movement of other cars or forces pedestrians to bypass the obstacle in a dangerous way (for example, stepping onto the roadway)—this directly corresponds to the requirements of point 15.10 f). Separately, point 15.10 h) establishes a direct prohibition on parking on lawns, even if it seems that the car "does not bother anyone," because this place is not intended for parking and must be protected from damage.
If you analyze the answer options, the first and second describe exactly the situations from point 15.10 f) (impossibility of movement for other vehicles and obstruction for pedestrians), and the third literally matches point 15.10 h) (lawns). Therefore, combinations that cover only part of the prohibitions are incomplete, and the correct option is the one that combines all three points. In practice, this knowledge helps to avoid conflicts in courtyards and on narrow streets, not to create traffic jams, and not to put pedestrians at risk—exactly what the theoretical exam evaluates.
Clause 1.10 (term "Parking")
Parking — stopping the movement of a vehicle for more than 5 minutes for reasons not related to the necessity of complying with these Rules, boarding (alighting) passengers, or loading (unloading) cargo.
This definition is needed to understand that the question concerns parking (not stopping) and the corresponding prohibitions from section 15 of the Traffic Rules.
Clause 15.10 (subclause "d") of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine
Parking is prohibited: in places where a parked vehicle would make it impossible for other vehicles to move or would create an obstacle for pedestrians.
This subclause covers answer options where parking creates an obstacle/makes movement impossible (specifically for other vehicles or pedestrians).
Clause 15.10 (subclause "e") of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine
Parking is prohibited: on lawns.
This subclause directly establishes a prohibition on parking on lawns.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Answers 1, 2, and 3.", considering that according to the definition of the Traffic Rules, parking is stopping movement for more than 5 minutes, and clause 15.10 (subclauses "d" and "e") directly prohibits parking in places that create an obstacle/make movement impossible and on lawns.
To answer this question correctly, it is first worth recalling what parking is. According to the Traffic Rules, parking is considered to be stopping for more than 5 minutes, unless it is related to a requirement of the Rules, boarding (alighting) passengers, or loading (unloading). That is, when a car is simply 'left to stand'—this is already parking, and separate prohibitions apply to it.
Next, let's refer to clause 15.10 (f) of the Traffic Rules: parking is prohibited where the parked vehicle actually blocks traffic. This can be a situation where, due to the parked car, other vehicles cannot pass (for example, on a narrow section of the road or near the exit from a yard), or when the parked car forces pedestrians to step onto the roadway because the passage is blocked. In such places, parking is unacceptable because it creates obstacles and danger.
Separately, clause 15.10 (h) of the Traffic Rules directly prohibits parking on lawns. The logic is simple: a lawn is intended for greenery, and prolonged presence of a car on it damages the surface. Therefore, even if you 'do not seem to bother anyone' on the lawn, the area itself is prohibited for parking.
Thus, the situations described in options 1, 2, and 3 correspond to two prohibitions from the Traffic Rules: not to create obstacles for vehicles or pedestrians (clause 15.10 (f)) and not to leave a car on a lawn (clause 15.10 (h)).
Therefore, the correct answer is "Answers 1, 2, and 3," since parking is prohibited both in places where the parked vehicle obstructs the movement of others or pedestrians, and on lawns, as directly specified in clauses 15.10 (f) and 15.10 (h) of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine.
