Question 5753

Are you allowed to stop your motorcycle on the usable part of the shoulder of a road outside a built-up area?

  1. Yes, as long as it is to pick up or drop off a person.
  2. No.
  3. Yes, but only for less than two minutes.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

Outside a built-up area, you must also stop your motorcycle on the right, off the roadway and clear of the usable part of the shoulder. Neither picking someone up or dropping someone off nor staying for less than two minutes allows you to remain on the shoulder. In the image, the red motorcycle is stopped on the shoulder.
