Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes, it is permitted. Traffic regulations establish a key difference between urban and interurban roads. On urban roads and traverses, if there is no signage prohibiting it, you may stop or park on the roadway or on the shoulder (if it exists and is passable), placing the vehicle as close as possible to the right edge (or left if it is a one-way street). This differs from interurban roads (highways), where the vehicle must be moved completely off the roadway and the usable part of the shoulder.
