Mopeds, are they allowed to travel on the hard shoulder two abreast?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
Mopeds are two, three, or four-wheeled vehicles with low-power engines. According to traffic regulations, these vehicles must travel on the **shoulder** when there is no specific lane for them. However, there are certain conditions under which they can do so in **pairs**.
- Mopeds can travel on the shoulder in pairs **exceptionally**, as long as the shoulder is **passable and sufficient**. This means that the shoulder must be in adequate condition to allow the safe passage of vehicles.
- In general, all vehicles traveling on the shoulder must do so in **single file, one behind the other**. However, mopeds, like bicycles, have the exception of being able to travel in pairs under the mentioned conditions.
- It is important to remember that in sections with no visibility or heavy traffic, all vehicles, including mopeds, must return to traveling in single file, one behind the other, to ensure safety.
Therefore, the correct answer is that mopeds can travel on the shoulder in pairs, but only exceptionally and when the shoulder is passable and sufficient.
