34.3. Are you allowed to park your car at this location?
UAЧи дозволено Вам поставити автомобіль на стоянку в даному місці?
This exam question from the Traffic Rules of Ukraine tests the driver's attentiveness to road infrastructure and the ability to correctly choose a place for parking. Compliance with parking rules directly affects road safety: an improperly parked car can obstruct visibility, narrow the roadway, and create obstacles for other road users.
The key hint in the task is the horizontal road marking, specifically section 34 of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine (marking 1.10.1). A yellow dashed line along the edge of the roadway or on top of the curb indicates places where parking is prohibited, regardless of whether additional sign 3.35 "Parking prohibited" is installed. This is the rule most often checked in the theoretical exam: it is necessary to distinguish the parking prohibition from other restrictions and to read the markings as attentively as the signs.
The analysis of the answer options comes down to understanding the effect of marking 1.10.1: "allowed" is not suitable, because the marking directly establishes a parking prohibition in this zone. The option about "partial entry onto the sidewalk" also does not change the essence: the prohibition applies specifically to the section marked, and is not "canceled" by the way the car is positioned. It is important to remember the difference between stopping and parking according to the definitions of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine: this marking is aimed against parking (leaving the car for a long time), so to answer correctly, you need to focus on what the exam question is testing.
Clause 34.1 — 34 “Road markings”, 1 “Horizontal markings”, marking 1.10.1
“1.10.1 (yellow dashed line) indicates places where parking is prohibited. It is used independently or in combination with sign 3.35 'Parking prohibited' and is applied along the edge of the carriageway or on top of the curb.”
Brief application: if a yellow dashed line 1.10.1 is drawn along the edge of the carriageway/curb, parking in this area is not allowed (however, stopping is not prohibited by this marking alone).
Clause 1.10 (term 'Parking')
“Parking — cessation of movement of 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.”
Clause 1.10 (term 'Stopping')
“Stopping — cessation of movement of a vehicle for up to 5 minutes or for a longer period if necessary for boarding (alighting) passengers or loading (unloading) cargo, complying with these Rules, or regulatory signals.”
Clause 33.3 — 33 “Road signs”, 3 “Prohibitory signs”, sign 3.35 “Parking prohibited” (additionally, if used together with the marking)
“3.35 'Parking prohibited' — prohibits parking of vehicles.”
Brief application: marking 1.10.1 may indicate (including) the area of effect of sign 3.35, but even without the sign, it alone prohibits parking.
That is, the correct answer is “Prohibited.”, given that according to the definition in the Traffic Rules, marking 1.10.1 directly indicates places where parking of vehicles is prohibited.
In this task, you need to focus on the road horizontal markings applied along the edge of the carriageway (or on top of the curb). It is these markings that determine whether you are allowed to leave your car parked in this location.
The yellow dashed line marking 1.10.1 according to the Traffic Rules (section 34) indicates a section where parking is prohibited. That is, the driver does not have the right to leave the car parked in such a zone, even if there is no road sign nearby. If sign 3.35 "Parking prohibited" is installed together with this marking, the marking additionally emphasizes the boundaries of the prohibition.
It is important not to confuse parking with a short-term stop: this marking is specifically aimed against parking (when a car is left for a long time), not against stopping. But since the question concerns parking specifically, the presence of marking 1.10.1 means a direct prohibition.
Therefore, the correct answer is "Prohibited," since the yellow dashed marking 1.10.1 indicates a place where parking of vehicles is prohibited.
