Correct answer
No, it is prohibited on both types of road
No. Article 125 prohibits requests for rides on these stretches, including toll-station forecourts. This must not be confused with assistance to people in an emergency or described as an absolute prohibition of every rescue by any vehicle. It does not authorise voluntarily stopping on the shoulder to pick up passengers.
