A2Difficulty 2/5

On a conventional road outside a built-up area, with no stopping or parking prohibition and suitable space outside the traffic platform, where should you place a motorcycle to stop or park?

Correct answer

Off the carriageway on the right-hand side, leaving the usable shoulder clear.

Off the carriageway on its right-hand side, leaving the usable part of the shoulder clear. Leaving the lane but occupying the usable shoulder is insufficient. You cannot freely choose the left-hand side either. Avoid danger or obstruction and respect other prohibitions and signs. On motorways and dual carriageways, voluntary stopping and parking are permitted only in designated areas; emergency immobilisation has its own rules and is outside this question’s scenario.
