A1Difficulty 3/5

To be able to talk to a friend who is also riding a motorcycle, are you allowed to ride side by side on the hard shoulder?

Correct answer

No.

No. Talking to another rider does not permit motorcycles to ride side by side on the shoulder. Article 36.3 allows exceptional motorcycle use of the shoulder only on authorised, signed sections with traffic stopped by congestion, at no more than 30 km/h and in single file, with extra caution and without endangering users required to use the shoulder.
