Between sunset and sunrise, a bus no longer than 6 m and less than 2 m wide, equipped with parking lights parks on an inadequately lit through road within a built-up area (travesía). In which parking position may its position lights be replaced by parking lights?

Correct answer

When parked parallel on the travesía’s carriageway or shoulder.

When parked parallel on the carriageway or shoulder of that travesía. Article 105(2) permits replacing the position lights in this case with parking lights or the two position lights on the carriageway side. This is not general permission for any parking in a built-up area or on any road. The replacement concerns a parked vehicle, not driving with parking lights. Annex X permits fitting parking lights only if length does not exceed 6 m and width is below 2 m; the question explicitly specifies these dimensions.
