Which mass quantity does article 36 use for the 3,500 kg threshold applicable to shoulder use by special vehicles?

Correct answer

Its maximum authorised mass.

Maximum authorised mass, not unladen mass or the load currently carried. Article 36 includes special vehicles whose maximum authorised mass does not exceed 3,500 kg: when no part is specially reserved, use the right shoulder if passable and sufficient; otherwise use only the necessary part of the carriageway. Exactly 3,500 kg is included. Signs and other traffic rules must also be obeyed; this mass is not the only factor that can determine position in every situation.
