Correct answer
- ANo, salvo por razones de emergencia.No, except for emergency reasons.
Explanation
On roads outside built-up areas, stopping and parking must be done off the carriageway, leaving the usable part of the hard shoulder clear (Article 90.1 of the General Traffic Regulations). It may only be occupied in an emergency; not to drop someone off, nor for less than two minutes.
