Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, parking is not allowed on the shoulder.
Outside a built-up area, a parked vehicle must be off the roadway and clear of the usable part of the shoulder, which cyclists or pedestrians may use. The same rule applies to Stopping for less than two minutes. In the image, the blue passenger car is occupying the shoulder.
