Correct answer
Off the carriageway, on the right, leaving the usable shoulder clear.
Off the carriageway, on the right and leaving the usable shoulder clear, under article 90.1. You must also avoid danger or obstruction and comply with prohibitions and signs: being off the carriageway does not itself authorise every parking situation. Emergencies have specific rules, and this must not be confused with the general prohibition on stopping or parking on motorways and dual carriageways except designated areas.
