What lighting must be kept on if a vehicle is immobilized due to a breakdown on the shoulder of an interurban road between sunset and sunrise?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Traffic regulations state that any vehicle immobilized on the roadway or shoulder, between sunset and sunrise (or under conditions of reduced visibility), must make itself visible to other road users. To do this, it is mandatory to keep the position lights on, and if the vehicle exceeds 2.10 meters in width, the clearance (gálibo) lights. This ensures that the vehicle's position and dimensions are perceptible in the dark. IMPORTANT: Although hazard lights (warning) must also be activated due to the breakdown, the answer 'Hazard lights only' is incorrect because it omits the position lights, which are essential for being seen at night according to Article 106.
