Correct answer
the carriageway or hard shoulder of interurban roads.
When leaving the car and occupying the carriageway or shoulder of an interurban road, under Article 118. The duty is not limited to the carriageway; it also covers the shoulder. Use a high-visibility vest complying with the applicable requirements; there is no rule here that it must always be yellow, as other prescribed fluorescent colours are permitted. Keep it accessible so it can be put on before exposure to traffic.
