Where am I allowed to park on the motorway?
Highways and motorways
Explanation
On **motorways**, stopping or parking is prohibited anywhere other than a **rest or service area**. This is because motorways are designed for the fast and safe transit of vehicles, and stopping in unauthorized places can be dangerous for both the driver and other road users.
- **Rest or service areas** are specifically designated spaces where drivers can stop safely. These areas are off the main roadway and offer services such as restrooms, restaurants, and fuel stations.
- Stopping or parking in other places on the motorway, such as the **emergency braking area** or the **central reservation**, is prohibited because it can obstruct traffic and increase the risk of accidents. These zones are intended exclusively for emergency situations and not for regular parking.
Therefore, the only safe and permitted option for parking on a motorway is in a **rest or service area**.
