As a general rule, is stopping allowed on the left-hand edge of the carriageway?
Vehicle immobilizations
Explanation
To understand why it is possible to stop on the left edge of a roadway on one-way urban streets, it is important to consider the parking and stopping regulations.
- **One-way urban streets**: On these streets, stopping and parking are allowed on both the right and left sides of the roadway. This is because there is no opposing traffic that could be affected by a vehicle stopped on the left side.
- **General stopping and parking rules**: On two-way roads, you must always stop or park on the right side to avoid interfering with traffic coming from the opposite direction. However, on one-way streets, this restriction does not apply, allowing the use of the left side.
- **Additional considerations**: Although stopping on the left side is allowed on one-way streets, you must always ensure that the vehicle does not obstruct the passage of other vehicles and that it is properly aligned with the edge of the roadway.
Therefore, the correct answer is that you can stop on the left edge of a roadway, but only on one-way urban streets.
