AMDifficulty 3/5

A two-wheeled moped descends a winding road with a usable and sufficiently wide right shoulder. With no other reason, may it leave the shoulder under the exception for bicycles on long descents?

Correct answer

No, that exception applies to bicycles.

No. The article 36.1 exception concerns bicycles, not mopeds. The moped must use a usable and sufficient shoulder. If no shoulder exists or it is unusable or insufficient, the necessary part of the carriageway may be used; saying a moped can never leave the shoulder is therefore incorrect.
