Explanation
Under Article 36.2 of the General Traffic Regulations (as worded by RD 518/2026), vehicles that must use the hard shoulder, including mopeds, are prohibited from riding 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.
