Show answer
Correct answer
- ANo, salvo en los tramos con visibilidad reducida.No, except on stretches with reduced visibility.
At a brow of a hill, specifically one with reduced visibility, stopping and parking are prohibited according to Article 94 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC). However, if the brow of the hill allows adequate visibility, stopping is allowed, which means the correct answer is that stopping is not prohibited except where visibility is reduced. This is meant to ensure road safety, because stopping at a brow of a hill with poor visibility can create danger both for the driver and for other road users.
