What is the widened area of the roadway called that is intended for stopping vehicles without obstructing traffic?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Lay-by (Apartadero). According to traffic regulation definitions, a lay-by is specifically the widening of the roadway intended for stopping vehicles without obstructing the flow of traffic for other users. Why the other options are incorrect: Roundabout (Glorieta): This is a type of intersection where roads communicate with a ring in which traffic moves in a rotary manner. Parking (Estacionamiento): Refers to the immobilization of a vehicle that is not stopping or halting, or the physical place enabled for it, but it does not define the structural concept of a 'road widening' designed to prevent obstruction.
