Is a voluntary stop permitted in a motorway traffic lane, with no officer’s direction?

Correct answer

No; use a designated stopping area.

No. Article 94 prohibits stopping on motorways and dual carriageways except in designated areas. Not obstructing traffic does not make it permitted. Distinguish a voluntary stop from being forced to stop by traffic or an emergency: if a breakdown prevents travel, follow Article 130 safety measures rather than create further danger trying to reach an exit.
