Does the prohibitory sign apply to the section of road where the driver has stopped?

Explanation

Sign 3.27 "No stopping" applies on the side of the road where it stands, from the sign to the nearest intersection. A gap in the median strip for U-turns (sign 6.3.1 "U-turn place") is not an intersection and does not interrupt the sign, so the truck standing beyond the gap is still in its zone of effect (Rules, sign 3.27).
