Question 5333

Is parking allowed on the usable shoulder of a road section through a built-up area (travesía)?

  1. Yes.
  2. No, stopping and parking are not allowed on the usable part of the shoulder.
  3. Only if the travesía has at least two lanes in each direction.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes.

A road section through a built-up area (travesía) is the section of a road that passes through a built-up area, and it counts as a street for stopping and parking. You may therefore park on the shoulder, including its usable part, close to the edge, if nothing prohibits it and you do not obstruct traffic. The number of lanes does not change the rule.
