Which of the following is true about no-stopping zones?

You can stop in a no-stopping zone only to obey another rule of the road or prevent a possible accident. You can stop to obey a traffic sign (such as a STOP sign), a traffic signal (such as a red light), or a traffic officer. Of course, you can also stop to avoid a conflict with another vehicle that could lead to an accident. Otherwise, you cannot stop.
