Correct answer
Yes, when necessary, shoulder use is permitted and it can be done safely.
Yes, when necessary and permitted by the applicable shoulder-use rules and safety circumstances. Edge lines delimit the carriageway; being continuous or broken does not change the legally established use of the shoulder. Crossing one does not permit using the shoulder to overtake or bypass a queue at your discretion. The rules provide mandatory or exceptional shoulder uses for specified vehicles and situations, including certain emergencies. Ensure the manoeuvre is safe and comply with all other signs and rules.
