According to Article 130 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), if a vehicle has a breakdown that does not stop it from moving, the driver must keep driving until they are out of the underpass, as long as it is safe to do so. This article requires drivers to remove the vehicle from the carriageway if it is obstructing traffic, and in this underpass the best option is to move forward carefully until you are out of the area. Stopping inside an underpass can be a safety risk, both for the driver and for other road users.
