If a moped rider rides on the roadway, leaving the right shoulder free when it exists and is passable, is the rider acting correctly?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Moped riders must ride on the shoulder to their right if it is passable and sufficient (General Traffic Regulations, Article 36(1)). Only if there is no shoulder or it is impassable may they use the strictly necessary part of the roadway. Therefore, leaving a passable shoulder free in order to ride in the main lane is contrary to the regulations, even if other vehicles are not hindered. And riding at more than 45 km/h changes nothing: the maximum speed of a moped is 45 km/h and it must not be exceeded.
