Question 7243

Is the vehicle on the shoulder parked correctly on this road outside a built-up area?

  1. No, because parking on the shoulder is not allowed.
  2. No, because it isn't marked.
  3. Yes, because it isn't in anyone's way.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because parking on the shoulder is not allowed.

Outside a built-up area, a parked vehicle must be off the roadway and must not occupy the usable part of the shoulder, even if it is not in anyone's way. No sign prohibiting it is needed because this is the general rule. In the image, the white van occupies the shoulder.
