C1Difficulty 3/5

On a conventional road outside a built-up area where voluntary stopping is permitted and there is no emergency, where should you position the vehicle to stop?

Correct answer

On the right-hand side, clear of the carriageway and leaving the passable part of the hard shoulder free.

Off the carriageway on its right-hand side, leaving the driveable part of the shoulder clear. The option of using the left side on a one-way road belongs to urban roads under Article 90.2, not this interurban rule. Observe prohibitions, safety and signs. Emergency immobilisation has specific rules and is outside this question.
