Is it allowed in this situation to pull over?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving on a dual carriageway outside a town; the right edge of the roadway is marked by a solid edge line P-7b, and beyond it there is a shoulder. You must not stop on the shoulder next to a solid line. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits stopping a vehicle on the roadway and on the shoulder next to a solid line marking the edge of the roadway, and the Regulation on road signs and signals adds that P-7b means a ban on driving onto the shoulder for the driver of a motor vehicle. A solid line is painted where pulling onto the shoulder would be dangerous, for example at high speeds. If the line were broken (P-7a), parking on the shoulder outside a built-up area would be allowed, and even recommended.
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 1 point 5 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 86 para. 8 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
