Are you allowed to stop your motorcycle on the hard shoulder of an interurban road?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

No, it is not allowed. As a general rule, on interurban roads (roads outside built-up areas), both stopping and parking must always be carried out outside the roadway and the usable part of the hard shoulder, positioning the vehicle on the right-hand side. The hard shoulder is intended for specific road users and emergency stops (breakdowns or accidents), but never for voluntary stops such as picking up or dropping off passengers, as this compromises road safety.
