Question 4533

Can you ride a moped on this striped marked area?

  1. Only when traffic is congested.
  2. Yes, because you are required to ride on the shoulder.
  3. No, no vehicle can drive on it.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because you are required to ride on the shoulder.

No vehicle may enter a hatched area except those required to use the shoulder. A moped must use the shoulder if it is usable and there is no road reserved for it, so it may travel through the hatched area on the shoulder, as the one in the image is doing. It may do so whether traffic is flowing freely or backed up.
