Correct answer

  • BSí, cuando sea necesario y las circunstancias lo permitan.Yes, when necessary and circumstances allow.
Explanation

According to the catalogue of road markings in Annex I of the RGC, carriageway edge lines, continuous or broken, do not change the regulated use of the hard shoulder: a continuous edge line may be crossed occasionally when necessary, for example to move onto the hard shoulder in an emergency.
