Are you obliged to move the motorcycle which got damaged in this place, to the emergency lane?

In the photo, on a motorway, at sign D-9 "motorway", an immobilised red motorcycle is standing in the right lane, and a motorcyclist is squatting next to it - a breakdown or a collision without injured people. You must move the damaged motorcycle to the emergency lane (hard shoulder). The answer is: yes.

The Road Traffic Act states that on a motorway or an expressway stopping or parking anywhere other than in designated places is prohibited, and if the vehicle was brought to a standstill for technical reasons, the driver must remove it from the roadway and warn other road users. On a motorway traffic moves at up to 140 km/h, and drivers do not expect an obstacle in the lane - a motorcycle standing in a traffic lane is a deadly danger both for you and for them. That is why immediately, wearing a high-visibility vest, you move it to the emergency lane, and then you mark the stationary vehicle: you switch on the hazard warning lights and place a warning triangle 100 m behind the vehicle. You yourself stand behind the barrier, not in the emergency lane, and call for help. If someone had been injured in the incident, you would not be allowed to move the vehicle - then you only make the scene safe and call the emergency services.

Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 3 and Art. 50 para. 1 point 1 and para. 2 point 1 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 48 para. 2 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
