Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is the carriageway (calzada). According to basic Traffic Law definitions, the road consists of several parts. The carriageway is the part of the road dedicated to vehicle traffic. The shoulder (arcén) is the longitudinal strip adjacent to the carriageway, but it is not intended for motor vehicle traffic except in emergency situations (breakdowns) or for specific vehicles (mopeds, agricultural vehicles, etc.). The berm is the area outside the road platform.
