33.3.2. To whom (which vehicles) does the effect of the depicted road sign not apply?
UAНа кого (які транспортні засоби) не поширюється дія зображеного дорожнього знака?
This exam question from the Traffic Rules of Ukraine concerns prohibitory road signs and the proper organization of stopping and parking in populated areas. Such restrictions directly affect road safety and traffic capacity: an improperly parked car impairs visibility, obstructs public transport, and creates dangerous situations for pedestrians and drivers. In the theoretical exam, it is important to clearly distinguish between parking and stopping, and to know the exceptions that are explicitly stated in the traffic rules.
The question tests knowledge of Section 33 of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine "Road Signs," specifically prohibitory sign 3.35 "Parking Prohibited." The logic is simple: the sign prohibits parking for everyone, but there are two clear exceptions specified in the official description: it does not apply to taxis with the taximeter turned on, as well as to drivers with disabilities operating a motorized wheelchair or a car marked with the "Driver with Disability" identification sign (and separately—to drivers transporting a passenger with a disability, provided they have supporting documents, if the disability is not obvious).
That is why the correct combination of answers includes the option about taxis with the taximeter turned on and the option about drivers with disabilities with the appropriate vehicle marking. In contrast, the statement about vehicles belonging to residents of the sign's coverage area does not apply here: for sign 3.35, the Traffic Rules do not provide an exception "for locals," and in practice, this is a typical trap in exam questions. To avoid making a mistake on the exam, remember: this task tests not "common sense," but the list of exceptions explicitly stated in the Traffic Rules for sign 3.35.
Clause 33.3 — 33 "Road signs", 3 "Prohibitory signs", sign 3.35 "Parking prohibited"
Sign 3.35 "Parking prohibited" prohibits parking for all vehicles except: • drivers with disabilities operating a motorized wheelchair or a car with an installed "Driver with disability" identification sign; drivers transporting passengers with disabilities, provided there are documents confirming the passenger's disability (except for passengers with obvious signs of disability); • taxis with the taximeter turned on.
(In the context of the question, what is being checked is specifically the list of exceptions—who sign 3.35 does not apply to.)
Clause 1.10 (term "Parking")
Parking — stopping a vehicle for more than 5 minutes for reasons not related to the need to comply with these Rules, boarding (alighting) passengers, or loading (unloading) cargo.
(This definition is needed to understand exactly what sign 3.35 prohibits—specifically "parking," not any stop.)
Thus, the correct answer is "Answers 1 and 3," given that according to the definition in the Traffic Rules, sign 3.35 "Parking prohibited" does not apply to drivers with disabilities (under the conditions specified in the sign description) and to taxis with the taximeter turned on.
Road sign 3.35 "Parking is prohibited" belongs to the prohibitory signs. Its main meaning is simple: within the area of this sign's effect, drivers are prohibited from parking, that is, leaving a vehicle for an extended period of time (as opposed to a short stop).
However, the Traffic Rules provide explicit exceptions for sign 3.35, meaning categories of vehicles to which this prohibition does not apply. The first exception concerns drivers with disabilities: if a driver operates a motorized wheelchair or a car marked with the "Driver with disability" identification sign, they may park despite sign 3.35. The same exception applies to a driver transporting a passenger with a disability, provided that documents confirming the disability are available (except in cases where the passenger's disability is obvious).
The second exception concerns taxis: if a taxi is operating in transport mode and has the taximeter turned on, the effect of sign 3.35 does not apply to it. That is, such a taxi may park within the area of this sign.
These are exactly the two exceptions the question checks: it is not about "local residents," not about delivery or other everyday situations, but only about those categories explicitly specified in the description of sign 3.35 in section 33 of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Answers 1 and 3," since the effect of sign 3.35 "Parking is prohibited" does not apply to vehicles driven by drivers with disabilities (under the established conditions) and to taxis with the taximeter turned on.
