What is the name of the road widening intended for stopping vehicles that does not interfere with traffic on the carriageway?
Traffic rules
Explanation
An **apartadero** is a widening of the roadway designed so that vehicles can stop without interfering with the traffic circulating on the main road. This means that vehicles needing to stop can do so safely and without obstructing the flow of other vehicles on the road.
- The main function of an apartadero is to allow vehicles to stop without interrupting the traffic flow.
- It is different from a **glorieta**, which is a circular intersection designed to facilitate the continuous flow of traffic.
- It also differs from a **parking area**, which is an area intended for leaving vehicles for a longer period of time.
Therefore, the correct term to describe a widening of the roadway intended for vehicle stopping without intercepting traffic is **apartadero**.
