Question 6237
Where is stopping permitted on a road outside a built-up area?
- On the right side, off the roadway and the usable part of the shoulder.
- On either side, always off the roadway and the usable part of the shoulder.
- If required by traffic conditions, on the shoulder if it is usable.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: On the right side, off the roadway and the usable part of the shoulder.
On a road outside a built-up area, you must always stop on the right, off the roadway and clear of the usable part of the shoulder, like the gray passenger car in the image. The left side is not allowed even if you are off the roadway. When traffic requires you to stop, that is Detention.
