Correct answer
- BPor la parte imprescindible de la calzada, lo más cerca posible de su borde derecho.On the part of the carriageway that is strictly necessary, as close as possible to its right-hand edge.
According to Article 36.1 of the General Traffic Regulations, cyclists must ride on the hard shoulder on their right if it is usable and wide enough. If it is not, they use the part of the carriageway that is strictly necessary, as close as possible to its right-hand edge (Article 29.1), whether or not they are being overtaken.
