33.7.2. With which road sign is the depicted plate installed?
UAЗ яким дорожнім знаком встановлюється зображена табличка?
This exam question from the Traffic Rules of Ukraine tests the understanding of how supplementary plates clarify the effect of road signs and help drivers correctly assess the boundaries of stopping or parking prohibitions. Such knowledge directly affects road safety and reduces the risk of violations in urban conditions, where restrictions often apply only to a specific section and not "up to the first intersection" as per the general rule.
According to the traffic rules, this concerns section 33 "Road Signs," specifically plate 7.2.2 "Zone of Effect" (item 33.7). It does not introduce a new prohibition but indicates the extent (boundaries) of the effect of prohibitory signs or the length of one or more stopping areas. An important feature for the theoretical exam: plate 7.2.2 is installed directly under the sign with which it is used, and the traffic rules explicitly define the list of such signs.
The analysis of the options comes down to the fact that all four listed signs belong to the prohibitory category and are directly mentioned in the description of 7.2.2: 3.34 "Stopping prohibited," 3.35 "Parking prohibited," 3.36 "Parking prohibited on odd days of the month," 3.37 "Parking prohibited on even days of the month" (item 33.3). Therefore, the restriction is not tied to one specific sign from the list, but can clarify the zone of effect for each of them; for this reason, answers that select only one sign are incomplete and are excluded by the logic of the traffic rules' wording.
The practical significance of the topic is simple: upon seeing plate 7.2.2 with a distance or zone indication under the corresponding sign, the driver should be guided by the specified boundary of the prohibition, rather than acting on "habitual" assumptions. This is a typical situation for exam tasks and real traffic, where correctly reading the combination of sign and plate helps avoid fines and not create obstacles for other road users.
Clause 33.7 — 33 "Road signs", 7 "Plates for road signs", plate 7.2.2 "Zone of effect"
"Indicates the zone of effect for prohibitory signs 3.34 'No stopping', 3.35 'No parking', 3.36 'No parking on odd dates of the month', 3.37 'No parking on even dates of the month', as well as the length of one or more consecutive stopping areas. The plate is placed directly under the signs with which it is used."
Clause 33.3 — 33 "Road signs", 3 "Prohibitory signs", sign 3.34 "No stopping"
Sign 3.34 "No stopping" (the sign with which, according to plate 7.2.2, the zone of effect may be indicated).
Clause 33.3 — 33 "Road signs", 3 "Prohibitory signs", sign 3.35 "No parking"
Sign 3.35 "No parking" (the sign with which, according to plate 7.2.2, the zone of effect may be indicated).
Clause 33.3 — 33 "Road signs", 3 "Prohibitory signs", sign 3.36 "No parking on odd dates of the month"
Sign 3.36 "No parking on odd dates of the month" (the sign with which, according to plate 7.2.2, the zone of effect may be indicated).
Clause 33.3 — 33 "Road signs", 3 "Prohibitory signs", sign 3.37 "No parking on even dates of the month"
Sign 3.37 "No parking on even dates of the month" (the sign with which, according to plate 7.2.2, the zone of effect may be indicated).
That is, the correct answer is "With any of the above-mentioned signs.", given that according to the definition in the Traffic Rules, plate 7.2.2 "Zone of effect" is specifically established for use with prohibitory signs 3.34, 3.35, 3.36, and 3.37 and is placed directly under them.
The plate depicted in the question belongs to section 33 of the Traffic Rules and has the number 7.2.2 "Area of effect." Its main role is not to introduce a new prohibition, but to clarify on which section of the road the prohibitory sign, under which it is installed, will be in effect.
According to the content of the Traffic Rules, plate 7.2.2 is used specifically for prohibitory signs that restrict stopping or parking. It is placed directly under the corresponding sign and indicates the boundaries (extent) of the prohibition or the length of one or more consecutive stopping bays. For example, if plate 7.2.2 with a specified distance is placed under the "No stopping" sign, this means that stopping is prohibited not "until the first intersection" according to the general rule, but precisely on the indicated section.
Among the provided answer options, four signs are listed with which the Traffic Rules directly provide for the use of plate 7.2.2: 3.34 "No stopping," 3.35 "No parking," 3.36 "No parking on odd days of the month," and 3.37 "No parking on even days of the month." Since plate 7.2.2 is intended specifically to clarify the area of effect of any of these four signs, it can be installed with each of them.
Therefore, the correct answer is "With any of the above-mentioned signs," since plate 7.2.2 "Area of effect" according to the Traffic Rules is used for signs 3.34, 3.35, 3.36, and 3.37 and clarifies the extent of their prohibition.
