Teniendo en cuenta que la línea de la derecha que delimita el borde de la calzada es discontinua, ¿le está permitido estacionar o parar en el arcén?

Given that the line on the right marking the edge of the carriageway is broken, are you allowed to park or stop on the hard shoulder?

  • ASí, pero únicamente para realizar una parada.Yes, but only to stop.
  • BSí, porque la línea discontinua permite parar en el arcén.Yes, because a broken line allows stopping on the hard shoulder.
  • CNo, porque está prohibido parar o estacionar en la parte transitable del arcén.No, because it is prohibited to stop or park on the usable part of the hard shoulder.

Correct answer

  • CNo, porque está prohibido parar o estacionar en la parte transitable del arcén.No, because it is prohibited to stop or park on the usable part of the hard shoulder.
Explanation

On roads outside built-up areas, stopping and parking must be done off the carriageway, on the right-hand side, leaving the usable part of the hard shoulder clear (Article 90 of the General Traffic Regulations). Whether the edge line is solid or broken does not change how the hard shoulder may be used.
