At a red curb, what is allowed?

• A. Stop briefly for passengers
• B. No stopping, standing, or parking; buses may stop in a red zone marked for buses
• C. Park if you are loading
• D. Park for a private vehicle

Answer: (B)

Red curbs tell you not to stop, stand, or park there. They’re painted to keep lanes clear for safety and for emergency access. The only exception is when a red curb area is specifically marked for buses; in that case, a bus may stop to pick up or drop off passengers. So stopping briefly for passengers or parking a private vehicle isn’t allowed in a red curb zone, unless a designated bus stop marking shows that buses may stop there. Always check for any bus-stop markings or other posted signs that indicate an exception.
