Correct answer

  • BNo, está prohibido.No, it is prohibited.
Explanation

On motorways (autopistas) and dual carriageways (autovías), stopping is prohibited except in the areas provided for it (Article 94 of the General Traffic Regulations). The hard shoulder may only be used to stop in an emergency; looking at the view is not an emergency, even if the stop is short.
