Correct answer
No, the vest is only compulsory on urban roads.
A driver who has to leave their vehicle because of a breakdown while travelling on an interurban road must put on a high-visibility vest before getting out of the vehicle, so that they can be seen by other road users. The vest must be kept in a place accessible to the driver, usually in a compartment in the driver's door.
