Correct answer
No, it is prohibited.
No. Under article 90.1, voluntary stops must be off the carriageway on its right, leaving the usable shoulder clear, while respecting other prohibitions and signs. A wide shoulder or a stop lasting less than a minute does not make it lawful. Emergencies have specific rules and must not be confused with recreational stops.
