AMDifficulty 1/5

A moped approaches a hatched area of parallel diagonal stripes enclosed by a solid line, which is not the shoulder it must use. With no emergency or authorising instruction, may it enter to make a voluntary stop?

Correct answer

No, it may not enter for that voluntary stop.

No. Hatching marks an area that drivers generally must not enter with a vehicle or animal, with the relevant exception for users required to travel on the shoulder. It is not by itself an emergency braking area. Stopping for less than two minutes does not authorise entry; emergency braking areas have their own signs and rules.
