Correct answer
No, they must use a designated stopping place.
No. On motorways and dual carriageways, voluntary stops must be made in designated places, such as a rest or service area. Hatching marks an area excluded from traffic, not a parking place for a break. Immobilisation due to breakdown or emergency is a different case and requires the appropriate safety and warning measures. Nor should you infer that any hatched area on other roads allows parking.
