Traffic rules
Uruguay
1. No stopping
No stopping means that vehicles are not permitted to stop voluntarily at the indicated location, even briefly for picking up or dropping off passengers or loading or unloading goods. It is a stricter restriction than a no-parking rule.
A no-stopping restriction may be indicated by a traffic sign, road marking or local traffic regulation. Drivers should continue to a place where stopping is permitted unless they are forced to stop by traffic conditions, an emergency or another legal requirement.
Can you briefly stop where your car obstructs traffic in Uruguay?
No. Article 19 prohibits both stopping and parking where they create danger or an obstruction.
Can you stop or park in a tunnel or on a bridge in Uruguay?
No. The law specifically identifies these locations among dangerous stopping and parking places.
