Question 5966
If you park a passenger car in line on the shoulder of an insufficiently lit road section through a built-up area, which lights must you leave on?
- The position lights and the low beams.
- The parking lights and the hazard lights.
- The two position lights on the side facing the roadway, or the parking lights.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The two position lights on the side facing the roadway, or the parking lights.
At night, when parked on a poorly lit road section through a built-up area (travesía), your car must be visible, so you must leave its position lights on. If you have parallel parked, a parking light or the two position lights facing the roadway are enough. Neither low beams nor hazard lights are needed. In the image, the parked car has only the lights on the side facing the roadway on.
