Correct answer

  • Bpor el lado más próximo al borde de la vía.on the side nearest the edge of the road.
Explanation

Once the vehicle is stationary, as a general rule occupants must get in or out on the side nearest the pavement or hard shoulder. On one-way urban roads you may stop and park on both sides of the road, so we should always try to get out where there is less risk of being hit, which is the side nearest the edge of the road, not the carriageway side, where vehicles are moving.
