BDifficulty 2/5

On a conventional road outside a built-up area, without a prohibition or emergency, how should you position the vehicle when parking alongside the road?

Correct answer

Off the carriageway on the right, with the usable shoulder clear.

Off the carriageway on the right, leaving the usable shoulder clear. Obey prohibitions and do not create danger or obstruct traffic. Do not confuse the carriageway with the whole road: this rule does not require leaving the entire road domain or itself govern a separate private parking facility.
