Correct answer
Outside the carriageway, keeping the drivable part of the hard shoulder clear.
Outside the carriageway, on its right-hand side, keeping the usable shoulder clear, under Article 90.1. The location must also permit stopping or parking and must not create danger or obstruct traffic. This rule concerns voluntary stopping or parking on an interurban road; it does not describe a traffic-imposed stop or immobilisation caused by a breakdown or emergency. A road through a built-up area and an urban road have specific rules and should not be confused with this case.
