  2. You may stop, but not park.
  3. You may park, but not stop.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, you may stop and park on the right side of the roadway.

On a conventional road (carretera convencional), you may stop and park off the roadway and clear of the usable part of the shoulder, always on the right, provided it is not prohibited there and you do not create a hazard. The same rule applies to both stopping and parking (estacionamiento). In the image, the blue passenger car is parked on the dirt, beyond the shoulder.
