Correct answer
In the places specifically signposted for that purpose.
In places specifically signposted for stopping or parking, such as designated service-area spaces. Article 94 prohibits ordinary stopping and parking on motorways elsewhere. Do not confuse voluntary parking with immobilisation caused by a breakdown or emergency: applicable safety and assistance measures then apply. The hard shoulder is not an ordinary parking place.
