Correct answer
On the right-hand hard shoulder, if it is passable and wide enough.
On interurban roads without a dedicated moped lane, moped riders must use the right-hand hard shoulder, provided it is passable and wide enough. If the hard shoulder is not passable or wide enough, mopeds may use only the essential part of the carriageway. This rule protects both moped riders and other road users. By using the hard shoulder, mopeds, which generally travel more slowly than motor vehicles, avoid obstructing traffic and reduce the risk of collisions.
