Bicycles and mopeds can be stopped and parked on a sidewalk and bicycle track.

With caution it is allowed to stop also other vehicles on a sidewalk and bicycle track for the purposes of picking up, setting down, loading or unloading. This can only be done if there are no other suitable places for stopping nearby and if there is a compelling reason for stopping.

Stopped vehicles must not unconscionably disturb the traffic on sidewalk and bicycle track.

In such a case the driver has to stay close to the vehicle and if necessary move the car to a place where it does not disturb other traffic.

Residential precinct

E24: Pysäköinti pihakadulla on sallittu vain merkityllä pysäköintipaikalla. Polkupyörän, mopon tai liikkumisesteisen pysäköintitunnuksella varustetun ajoneuvon saa kuitenkin pysäköidä pihakadulla muuallekin, jos siitä ei aiheudu huomattavaa haittaa pihakadun liikenteelle eikä muulle käyttämiselle. Parking in a residential precinct is only permitted in designated parking spaces. However, a bicycle, moped or vehicle equipped with a parking badge for a disabled person may be parked in a residential precinct, provided that this does not cause considerable inconvenience to other traffic in the residential precinct, or to other use. Parkering på en gårdsgata är tillåten endast på en markerad parkeringsplats. Cyklar, mopeder och fordon som är försedda med parkeringstillstånd för personer med nedsatt rörelseförmåga får dock parkeras också på andra ställen på en gårdsgata, om detta inte medför avsevärd olägenhet för trafiken på gårdsgatan eller för annan användning av gårdsgatan.

Pedestrian street

E26: Moottorikäyttöistä ajoneuvoa tai sen perävaunua ei saa pysäyttää eikä pysäköidä kävelykadulla. A motorised vehicle or its trailer may not be stopped or parked in a pedestrian street.

Bicycle street

E28: Ajoneuvolla pysäköinti pyöräkadulla on sallittu vain merkityllä pysäköintipaikalla. Liikkumisesteisen pysäköintitunnuksella varustetun ajoneuvon saa pysäköidä pyöräkadun ajoradalla muuallekin, jos siitä ei aiheudu kohtuutonta haittaa. Parking a vehicle in a bicycle street is only permitted in designated parking spaces. A vehicle equipped with a parking badge for a disabled person may nevertheless be parked on a bicycle street provided that it does not cause excessive inconvenience.

Tunnel

E19: Liikennemerkillä osoitetussa tunnelissa ajoneuvoa ei saa peruuttaa eikä kääntää tulosuuntaan. Ajoneuvon saa pysäyttää ja pysäköidä vain hätätilanteessa, jolloin on pyrittävä käyttämään tähän tarkoitukseen osoitettuja alueita. Ajoneuvon moottori on sammutettava, jos pysäytys tai pysäköinti pitkittyy. Ajoneuvossa on käytettävä ajovaloja. In a tunnel indicated by a traffic sign, a vehicle may not be reversed or turned in the opposite direction. A vehicle may only be stopped and parked in emergencies; even then, the driver must attempt to use designated areas for this. The engine must be turned off during a longer stop or parking. Headlights must be kept on.
