Which vehicles are required to drive on the right-hand shoulder if there is no specific path intended for them?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The general traffic rule in Spain states that vehicles must drive on the roadway (calzada). However, to ensure traffic flow and safety, certain road users are mandatory required to drive on the right-hand shoulder (arcén) provided it is passable and sufficient. The correct answer is special vehicles with a Maximum Authorized Mass (MAM) not exceeding 3,500 kg. Other vehicles that must also use the shoulder include: Cycles and mopeds. Vehicles for people with reduced mobility. Animal-drawn vehicles. Cyclist escort vehicles. Why not the other options? Private cars must drive on the roadway, except in cases of emergency. Buses and special vehicles over 3,500 kg must use the roadway due to their weight and size.
