Question 7275
As a general rule, on the usable part of the shoulder of a road outside a built-up area, is stopping or parking allowed?
- Stopping is allowed, but parking is not.
- Both stopping and parking are allowed.
- Both stopping and parking are prohibited.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Both stopping and parking are prohibited.
On a road outside a built-up area, the usable part of the shoulder must remain clear, so you must not stop or park there. Leave your vehicle off that part of the shoulder, on the right. Remaining on the shoulder because of an emergency, such as a breakdown, is Detention. In the image, the blue passenger car occupies the shoulder.
