Correct answer
Only in the areas designated for that purpose.
On motorways, parking is permitted only in areas specially designated for that purpose. It is important to remember that parking anywhere else on a motorway or dual carriageway is prohibited for several safety reasons: Visibility of Signs: Parking outside the designated areas can block the visibility of traffic signs for other road users, increasing the risk of accidents. Need for Unexpected Manoeuvres: An improperly parked vehicle can force other drivers to make sudden or unexpected manoeuvres, which is dangerous on high-speed roads such as motorways.
