Yellow line along the curb: stopping or parking?

What does a yellow line mean?A yellow marking along the road indicates a prohibition. With a solid yellow line, you may not stop. With a broken yellow line, you may not park.What is the difference between stopping and parking?Stopping briefly to let someone get in or out directly, or to load or unload goods immediately, does not count as parking. So with a broken yellow line, such a short stop may be allowed, provided you do not break any other rule and do not obstruct anyone. With a solid yellow line, even that is not allowed.Solid yellow: keep moving.Broken yellow: no parking.Always check whether traffic signs set additional rules.Exam tipWhen asked about parking, do not only mention whether there is space. Check the curb, markings, traffic signs, and distance to intersections or driveways.View het RVV 1990 bij de officiële bron.
