Is parking allowed on the shoulder of a road passing through a town (travesía) if there are no signs prohibiting it?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is allowed. To answer correctly, you must remember a golden rule: a travesía is a section of road running through a built-up area and, therefore, the rules for urban roads apply. On urban roads (and travesías), stopping and parking may be done on the roadway or on the shoulder, placing the vehicle as close as possible to its right edge (or the left edge if it is a one-way street). This contrasts with interurban roads, where you must always park completely off the roadway and off the passable part of the shoulder.
