Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

On motorways and dual carriageways, stopping and parking are strictly prohibited both on the roadway and on the shoulders, unless there is a breakdown or an emergency. The shoulder must not be used under any circumstances for passengers to board or alight, since it entails a very serious danger of being run over and of collision because of the high speed of the other vehicles. A passenger wearing a reflective vest never legitimizes an unauthorized stop, and placing the bus off the roadway does not allow it either, since passengers must only be picked up or set down at places specially provided for the purpose, such as stations, authorized stops or service areas.
