Are you allowed in this situation to park the vehicle on the hard shoulder?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the photo you are driving outside a town on a dual carriageway, and the right edge of the roadway is marked by a solid edge line P-7b. Parking on the shoulder next to such a line is prohibited, although outside a built-up area the shoulder is usually the right place to park. The answer is: no.
The Road Traffic Act prohibits stopping 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 says that for the driver of a motor vehicle P-7b means a ban on driving onto the shoulder. Parking is stopping for longer than one minute, so the ban covers it all the more. If you need to stop, you look for a car park or a place where the edge line is broken.
Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 1 point 5 and Art. 2 point 29 and 30 of the Road Traffic Act (Prawo o ruchu drogowym); § 86 para. 8 of the Regulation on road signs and signals
