Correct answer

  • ANo, si es para efectuar una parada.No, if it is only to stop.
Explanation

The yellow marking in the question shows the part of the carriageway where parking is prohibited for vehicles in general, because it is reserved for a special use that does not involve any vehicle staying there for long. It is usually used at bus stopping areas (not parking) or at loading and unloading areas. Stopping is allowed (for less than 2 minutes and without the driver leaving the vehicle), unless the marking outlines a bus stop, in which case both stopping and parking are prohibited.
