- No.
- Yes, but only until the first exit.
- Yes, but with the hazard lights on.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No.
No. A traffic jam is not an emergency, so passenger cars and other motor vehicles (automóviles) stay on the roadway even if the shoulder is empty, as in the picture. Turning on your hazard lights or wanting to reach the first exit changes nothing. Motorcycles may only use the shoulder on sections where this is authorized and indicated by signs, when traffic is stopped.
