Correct answer
- ASí, por la derecha, ocupando solo la parte necesaria de la calzada.Yes, on the right, using only the necessary part of the carriageway.
According to the General Traffic Regulations (RGC), mopeds may ride on roads outside built-up areas where there is no hard shoulder, using the part of the carriageway that is strictly necessary. This is because, when there is no driveable hard shoulder that is wide enough, they must take up only as much of the carriageway as they need, for the safety of both the moped and other vehicles. So it is correct to say that you can ride on the right, using only the part of the carriageway that is strictly necessary.
