Explanation
Under Article 36.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (RGC) (as worded by RD 518/2026), vehicles that are required to use the hard shoulder, including mopeds, are not allowed to 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.
