Question 4745
As a general rule, on a road outside a built-up area, stopping and parking must be done...
- on the shoulder, when it is usable and wide enough.
- always on the shoulder.
- always off the roadway, on its right side, and leaving the usable part of the shoulder clear.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: always off the roadway, on its right side, and leaving the usable part of the shoulder clear.
Outside a built-up area, a stopped or parked vehicle must always be off the roadway, on its right side, leaving the usable part of the shoulder clear for those traveling along it. You must not stop on that part of the shoulder, even if it is wide. In the image, the blue passenger car is beyond the shoulder, on the gravel.
