Correct answer

  • ANo, porque, como norma general, está prohibido tanto parar como estacionar.No, because as a general rule both stopping and parking are forbidden.
Explanation

Both stopping and parking are forbidden in a lane reserved for buses and taxis, even if the line separating it from the rest of the carriageway is broken. These lanes are designed to help these vehicles move, and any other vehicle stopping there could cause traffic problems and slow down public transport.
