Question 6202

If, due to an accident or other emergency, a vehicle has to be immobilized on an autovía or a freeway (autopista)...

  1. the vehicle's occupants may walk on the roadway, except minors.
  2. its occupants may walk on the roadway, taking due precautions.
  3. none of the vehicle's occupants may walk on the roadway.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: none of the vehicle's occupants may walk on the roadway.

No occupant, whether an adult or a minor, may walk on the roadway or remain on the shoulder. If there is a safe place beyond the lanes and shoulder, they must exit on the side away from traffic and wait there; otherwise, they must stay inside with their seat belts fastened.
