Correct answer
No, under no circumstances.
Under no circumstances may bicycle riders travel along the hard shoulders of motorways, regardless of their age. The regulations expressly prohibit bicycles from travelling on motorways because of the high speeds and heavy traffic, which makes it extremely dangerous for cyclists. This prohibition includes all cycles, mopeds, vehicles for people with reduced mobility, pedestrians, animals, animal-drawn vehicles and personal mobility vehicles (VMP). This regulation is in force to protect both cyclists and motorised vehicle drivers, ensuring that motorways remain safe and efficient for high-speed traffic.
