Explanation
According to Article 36.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), as worded by Royal Decree 518/2026, vehicles that must use the hard shoulder, including mopeds, may not ride side by side. Only bicycles may ride two abreast. The old exception that allowed mopeds to ride two abreast on the hard shoulder no longer exists.
