Correct answer
No, it is not permitted in the situation described.
No, you may not use it in this situation. A queue alone does not authorise shoulder riding. Since 1 October 2026, Article 36.3 permits extraordinary use of the right shoulder on authorised, signed sections, only when traffic lanes are stopped by congestion, at no more than 30 km/h and in single file. Take particular care, do not endanger road users required to use the shoulder, and leave it if necessary. Hazard lights and darkness do not replace those conditions.
