May a person traveling in a wheelchair use the right-hand shoulder of a road outside a built-up area?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Yes. According to General Traffic Regulations, although pedestrians must normally walk on the left side of interurban roads to face oncoming traffic, there are exceptions. Persons traveling in wheelchairs, as well as those pushing a bicycle or moped, must travel along the shoulder on their right (or the essential part of the roadway if there is no shoulder). This is done for road safety reasons. Therefore, it is permitted provided it is done with attention and taking necessary precautions.
