Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, on roads designated for that purpose by the competent authority.

They are permitted only on sections closed off for that purpose by the appropriate authority, like the closed street in the image. An officer with a red flag leads the event, and another with a green flag brings up the rear.
