Correct answer
- CSe puede parar y estacionar.You may stop and park.
A travesía is the stretch of a road that runs through a built-up area, so it is not a road outside built-up areas (vía interurbana). The rule that you must stop and park off the carriageway, leaving the usable part of the hard shoulder clear, applies on roads outside built-up areas (Article 90.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). On the hard shoulder of a travesía you may stop and park, as long as you do not cause an obstruction.
