Correct answer

  • ASí, cuando sea necesario y las circunstancias lo permitan.Yes, when necessary and circumstances allow.
Explanation

Edge lines mark the edge of the carriageway and may be crossed occasionally when necessary, for example to stop on the hard shoulder in an emergency. Whether they are solid or broken makes no difference to the use of the hard shoulder, according to the road marking catalogue of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC).
