Question 6426

On a freeway (autopista), where are you permitted to stop your vehicle to rest?

  1. Off the roadway and off the usable part of the shoulder.
  2. Only in service areas or rest areas.
  3. Only on service roads.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Only in service areas or rest areas.

On a freeway (autopista), you may stop or park to rest only in designated areas, such as service areas or the rest area in the image. The rule for conventional roads (carreteras convencionales), which requires you to stay off the roadway and shoulder, does not apply here.
