If you leave your vehicle stationary on the hard shoulder of this road at night, which lights must you leave on?

Correct answer

The position light.

If you leave your vehicle stationary on the hard shoulder of a road at night, you must leave the position lights on. Under Spanish road regulations, position lights are compulsory for vehicles stationary between sunset and sunrise, or in weather or environmental conditions that significantly reduce visibility. This applies to vehicles stationary both on the carriageway and on the hard shoulder of any road, including tunnels, underpasses, sections signposted as tunnels and enclosed places. It is also required for vehicles parked on non-trafficable hard shoulders of interurban roads and on the carriageways or hard shoulders of roads through built-up areas and urban roads with insufficient lighting. Position lights ensure that the vehicle is visible to other road users, improving road safety.
