Outside built-up areas, when voluntarily stopping to rest, what location should you choose in addition to obeying applicable prohibitions?

Correct answer

In a permitted place outside the carriageway, on its right and clear of the passable shoulder.

A permitted place outside the carriageway, on its right and clear of the passable shoulder, under Article 90. Rest or service areas with authorised parking are suitable options, but are not the only permitted locations. Do not stop on a motorway or dual-carriageway carriageway or shoulder to rest. A stop lasting over two minutes or without the driver remaining is parking and must follow its rules.
