Are we allowed to stop our motorcycle on the usable part of the hard shoulder of an interurban road?
Vehicle immobilizations
Explanation
It is not permitted to stop a motorcycle on the passable part of the **shoulder** of an interurban road.
- The **shoulder** is a part of the road mainly intended for certain vehicles such as bicycles, mopeds, and special vehicles that do not exceed 3,500 kilograms. These vehicles must travel on the shoulder if there is no specific lane for them.
- On roads outside towns and cities, you must stop and park on the right side of the road, leaving the shoulder free whenever possible. This implies that the shoulder is not intended for stopping or parking vehicles like motorcycles.
- Additionally, it is prohibited to stop and park on **motorways or expressways**, except in rest or service areas. The shoulder of these roads is not an exception to this rule.
Therefore, stopping a motorcycle on the shoulder of an interurban road is not permitted.
