Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No.

During the day with good visibility, you do not need to leave any lights on, even if you occupy part of the shoulder on a road section through a built-up area (travesía). Position lights are for nighttime or poor visibility. In the image, the parked car has its lights off.
