Which statement best describes curb markings and stopping?

• A. Curbs marked with yellow lines limit stopping to loading or unloading
• B. Curbs marked with yellow lines allow any stopping time
• C. Curbs with white lines mean you may stop briefly for loading
• D. Curbs with blue lines indicate no stopping at all

Answer: (A)

Curbs painted yellow show a loading zone. You may stop there briefly to load or unload passengers or goods, but you cannot park or wait longer than necessary. The idea is to keep traffic moving and keep the curb area clear for those who need to load or unload.

That’s why this statement is the best fit: it directly describes the restriction tied to yellow curbs—stopping is allowed only for the purpose of loading or unloading, not for extended parking. Other curb colors convey different rules (for example, some indicate no stopping at all or only brief stops for other purposes), so they don’t describe the yellow curb’s specific limit.
