Question 4833

Which vehicles must travel on the shoulder if there is no specific area for them or the road does not have a part adapted for them to travel on?

  1. Vehicles for people with reduced mobility.
  2. Any vehicle when traffic is heavy.
  3. Passenger cars with a trailer.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Vehicles for people with reduced mobility.

Vehicles for people with reduced mobility must use the right shoulder when they have no designated route and the shoulder is usable and wide enough. If it is not, they use only the space they need on the roadway. A passenger car with a trailer is a motor vehicle (automóvil) and travels on the roadway. Heavy traffic does not turn the shoulder into an extra lane.
