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 highway running through a town, and therefore, urban road rules apply. On urban roads (and travesías), stopping and parking are permitted on the roadway or on the shoulder, placing the vehicle as close as possible to the right edge (or the left edge if it is a one-way street). This contrasts with interurban roads (outside towns), where you must always park completely off the roadway and off the paved shoulder.
