Is it permitted to stop on the driveable shoulder of an interurban road to enjoy the view?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The answer is No, it is forbidden. According to General Traffic Regulations, on interurban roads (outside built-up areas), stopping and parking must always be carried out outside the roadway and the driveable part of the shoulder, and always on the right side. The shoulder may only be used for emergency stops or breakdowns. Stopping to admire the view is considered a voluntary stop and must therefore be done in a safe place completely off the road structure.
