Which statement describes appropriate use of no-stopping zones near intersections?

• A. Do not stop there; continue moving.
• B. Stop briefly to pick up passengers.
• C. Stop and check your phone.
• D. Turn around and exit.

Answer: (A)

No-stopping zones near intersections are placed to keep the intersection clear and maintain good sight lines for drivers and pedestrians. Stopping in that area can block cross-traffic, obscure pedestrians, and make it harder to react to signals or other vehicles. The correct action is to avoid stopping there entirely and keep moving until you’re past the zone or in a legal stopping area. You should only stop outside of that zone or when required by a traffic control device or emergency situation.
