Is it permitted for two-wheeled mopeds to ride side by side on the shoulder?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The General Traffic Regulations (Article 36(2)) prohibit riders of mopeds, and of other vehicles required to travel on the shoulder, from riding side by side there. From 1 October 2026 (Royal Decree 518/2026) only bicycles may ride two abreast. Therefore, mopeds, even if they use the shoulder and it is passable and sufficient, must ride in single file. Neither congestion on the roadway nor the shoulder being passable and sufficient allows riding side by side on the shoulder: the latter only serves to decide whether they may use it, not to ride two abreast.
