What does a red curb marking mean in Nevada?
-
A.
Short stop only to load or unload passengers
-
B.
Reserved for handicapped parking
-
C.
Loading zone with rules set by local law
-
D.
No stopping, standing, or parking Correct
The answer is "No stopping, standing, or parking"
Red is the strictest of the color-coded curb markings. No stopping, no standing, no parking, with the exact enforcement determined by local ordinance. Confusing red with yellow (loading) or white (short passenger stop) is a common trap.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Short stop only to load or unload passengers
A short stop for passengers or mail is the meaning of a white curb, not a red curb. This answer confuses red with white; white curbs allow a short stop only to take on or let off passengers or drop mail.
B. Reserved for handicapped parking
Handicapped parking is designated by blue curb markings, not red. This answer confuses red with blue; blue curbs designate handicapped parking areas.
C. Loading zone with rules set by local law
Loading zone is the meaning assigned to a yellow curb, not a red one. This answer confuses red with yellow; yellow curbs designate a loading zone with rules depending on local laws.
