Correct answer
- CNo, solo se puede detener en zonas habilitadas, como las áreas de descanso.No, you can only stop in designated areas, such as rest areas.
On dual carriageways (autovías) and motorways (autopistas) stopping is prohibited except in areas set aside for it, such as rest areas. The General Traffic Regulations allow stopping only in these designated places, which keeps the vehicle's occupants and other road users safe. So the correct answer is that stopping on an autovía or autopista is not permitted except in designated areas.
