Correct answer

  • CPor el arcén derecho, si existe.On the right-hand hard shoulder, if there is one.
Explanation

Anyone pushing or pulling a two-wheeled moped or a similar vehicle on foot counts as a pedestrian, but must keep to the right (Article 122.2.a of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC)). On a road outside built-up areas, they will use the right-hand hard shoulder if there is one and it is usable.
