Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Only exceptionally, such as in the event of a breakdown, to get to a safe place off the roadway and the shoulder.

Pedestrians may not walk on freeways or expressways (autovías). The exception is when a vehicle is immobilized after a crash or breakdown: if it cannot continue, the occupants must get out on the side away from traffic and go to a safe place off the roadway and the shoulder, for example behind the guardrail. They must not walk or stand in the travel lanes or on the shoulder. If they cannot get out safely, they must stay inside the vehicle with their seat belts fastened.
