Si por accidente, avería o malestar físico tuviésemos que inmovilizar el vehículo en una autopista o autovía, ¿podrán los ocupantes del vehículo transitar por la calzada para pedir auxilio en el poste de socorro más próximo?
If an accident, a breakdown or feeling unwell forces you to stop your vehicle on a motorway (autopista) or dual carriageway (autovía), may the occupants walk along the carriageway to call for help at the nearest SOS post?

Correct answer
- ANo, en ningún caso.No, never.
The occupants of the vehicle may never walk along the carriageway of a motorway or dual carriageway, not even wearing the approved vest. The carriageway is the part of the road for vehicles, so walking there would be extremely dangerous, especially as speeds on motorways and dual carriageways are high.
