Correct answer

  • CSí, si las características de la vía u otras circunstancias lo permiten.Yes, if the features of the road or other circumstances allow it.
Explanation

Under Article 92 of the General Traffic Regulations, the vehicle must be placed parallel to the edge of the carriageway. However, parking in another way is also allowed if the features of the road or other circumstances make it advisable. That is why the correct option is that, yes, stopping or parking is allowed if conditions permit, which could include situations where there is not enough space or where the type of road requires a different position to ensure safety.
