Show answer
Correct answer
- BEstacionar sobre la acera.Parking on the pavement.
If a driver parks on a pavement, for more than 2 minutes or leaving the vehicle, they are occupying the part of the road intended for pedestrians. With their area occupied, pedestrians have to use part of the carriageway to keep walking and can be hit by vehicles using it. Parking on pavements is prohibited. Paying extra attention near a bus and not signalling to pedestrians to cross are both things we should do so as not to put pedestrians at risk.
