Question 6946
A farm tractor with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of 3,000 kg, a bicycle, and a moped are traveling on the shoulder of a conventional road. Are they traveling correctly?
- No, only the bicycle must travel on the shoulder.
- Yes, except the tractor, which must travel on the roadway.
- Yes, all of them must travel on the shoulder.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Yes, all of them must travel on the shoulder.
Yes. If there is no road designated for them and the shoulder is usable and wide enough for each of them, human-powered cycles (ciclos), mopeds, and special vehicles with a maximum authorized mass (MMA) of up to 3,500 kg must use it. The 3,000 kg tractor belongs to that group, as do the bicycle and the moped in the picture. Only a special vehicle over 3,500 kg would use the roadway.
