Clause 1.10 (term "Stop")

"Stop" — the cessation of movement of a vehicle for up to 5 minutes or more, if necessary for boarding (alighting) passengers or loading (unloading) cargo, fulfilling the requirements of these Rules (yielding the right of way, following the instructions of a traffic controller, traffic light signals, etc.).

Clause 15.9 (j) (Section 15 "Stopping and Parking")

Stopping is prohibited: (j) in places where the vehicle obstructs traffic light signals or road signs for other drivers.

Clause 33.3 — 33 "Road Signs", 3 "Prohibitory Signs", sign 3.34 "Stopping Prohibited"

Sign 3.34 "Stopping Prohibited" — prohibits stopping and parking of vehicles.

Therefore, the correct answer is "Prohibited.", considering that according to the definition in the Traffic Rules, stopping at this place is not allowed if the vehicle obstructs the road sign for other drivers (clause 15.9 (j)).

According to the Traffic Rules, a stop is the cessation of movement of a vehicle for up to 5 minutes or more, including for the boarding/alighting of passengers or loading/unloading. That is, even a brief "stop for a minute" in front of the sign is considered a stop.

In this situation, the truck stops in front of the "No stopping" road sign in such a way that, due to its size, it blocks the sign from view for other drivers approaching from behind. Drivers who are approaching may simply not see the prohibitory sign in time and may not realize that stopping is not allowed in this area.

This is directly prohibited by clause 15.9 (j) of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine: it is not allowed to stop in places where the vehicle blocks road signs or traffic signals from the view of other drivers. Therefore, regardless of the driver's intention and the duration of the stop, such a stop is a violation.

Thus, the correct answer is "Prohibited," since the stop blocks the visibility of the road sign for other drivers, which is directly prohibited by clause 15.9 (j) of the Traffic Rules of Ukraine.
