Question 197 in the bank

Is it permitted to stop, stand or park a vehicle on a freeway (motorway)?

A blue rectangle showing a white road widening downward with a center line, crossed by a horizontal bridge.
  1. Yes, provided that the road edge is wide enough.
  2. Correct answer: No, unless otherwise specifically sign-posted.
  3. No, except for two-wheelers.
  4. No, except for a public vehicle.

Why this is the answer

The correct answer in the official bank: No, unless otherwise specifically sign-posted.

On a freeway, traffic moves at high speed, so a vehicle standing there puts itself and its passengers in danger. It is forbidden to stop, stand or park on a freeway unless it is specifically sign-posted otherwise. The ban does not depend on the type of vehicle, and a wide road edge does not make stopping permitted.
