Question 4580
On roads outside built-up areas, all motor vehicles and ... must travel on the roadway and not on the shoulder
- all special vehicles.
- special vehicles with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) exceeding 3,500 kilograms.
- special vehicles with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) not exceeding 3,500 kilograms.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: special vehicles with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) exceeding 3,500 kilograms.
Outside built-up areas, motor vehicles (automóviles) and special vehicles with an MMA over 3,500 kg travel on the roadway rather than the shoulder, except in an emergency. Special vehicles of up to 3,500 kg, however, must use the shoulder if it is usable and wide enough. The distinction is their MMA, so not all special vehicles travel on the roadway.
