A2Difficulty 3/5

On a road outside a built-up area, you want to make a voluntary stop on your motorcycle, with no breakdown or emergency. May you occupy the usable part of the shoulder?

Correct answer

No, because it is prohibited

No. Stopping or parking outside built-up areas must be off the carriageway, on the right, leaving the usable shoulder clear and observing other prohibitions. A stop shorter than two minutes or keeping the lights on does not authorise occupying it. Emergency immobilisation, governed by Article 130, is different from this voluntary stop.
