A car with a MAM no greater than 3,500 kg travels abnormally slowly on a dual carriageway because of an emergency and seriously disrupts traffic. If the right shoulder is usable and sufficient, where must it travel?

Correct answer

On the usable and sufficient right shoulder.

Use that right shoulder; if it is not usable and sufficient, use only the indispensable part of the carriageway. Leave the dual carriageway at the first exit under Article 38.2. Use hazard lights where there is a rear-end collision risk and the minimum cannot be reached. This rule does not authorise shoulder use in congestion or replace stopping safely if continuing is dangerous.
