Question 6967
On this road, are you allowed to stop your vehicle on the shoulder to look at the scenery?
- Yes, because the shoulder is wide.
- No, it is prohibited.
- Only if the stop is less than one minute.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, it is prohibited.
No. On freeways (autopista) and high-capacity divided highways (autovía), the shoulder is only for stopping because of a breakdown or an emergency. Stopping there to look at the scenery, as in the picture, is prohibited even if the shoulder is wide and the stop is brief.
