Question 5335

Are vehicles for people with reduced mobility required to travel on the shoulder?

  1. Yes, when there is no road or part of one specifically intended for them.
  2. No, it will depend on the instructions of the traffic officers and the type of road.
  3. No, but they may travel on the shoulder when they see fit.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, when there is no road or part of one specifically intended for them.

Yes. If there is no road or lane reserved for them, vehicles for people with reduced mobility must use the right shoulder when it is usable and wide enough. If it is not, they use only the space they need on the roadway. This is not up to the driver's preference, nor does it depend on the type of road.
