As a general rule, is pedestrian traffic allowed on motorways and dual carriageways?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The general rule is strict: pedestrian traffic is prohibited on motorways and dual carriageways, as these are roads exclusively for motor vehicles designed for high speeds, posing a serious danger. The correct answer mentions 'except for exceptions established by regulations'. These exceptions are emergency situations (such as a breakdown or accident where it is essential to seek help and no mobile phone is available) or for maintenance and emergency service personnel in the performance of their duties. Walking on the shoulder or because 'there are no vehicles' is not allowed under normal circumstances.
