Correct answer
No, they are prohibited from travelling on these roads.
No. Article 38 expressly prohibits mopeds on motorways and dual carriageways, including their shoulders. Their maximum speed is 45 km/h, but access is prohibited by vehicle category; modifying a moped to reach a higher speed does not remove the prohibition. The exception for certain bicycles on dual-carriageway shoulders does not apply to mopeds.
