When driving on a national road is it permitted to drive on the hard shoulder in order to allow faster-moving traffic to overtake?
- Only when driving on a dual carriageway.
- No, except when driving on a "2-plus-1 road".
- Only when a truck or bus wants to overtake.
- Correct answerYes, temporarily when the hard shoulder is clear and it is safe to drive there.
Explanation
On national roads, the hard shoulder is normally for the use of pedestrians and cyclists only. If you want to allow a vehicle behind to overtake, you may pull into the hard shoulder briefly as long as no pedestrians or cyclists are using it and there are no junctions or entrances nearby. In the case of motorways, however, you must not drive on the hard shoulder, except in an emergency.

在国道上行驶时，是否允许驶入硬路肩以便让更快的车辆超车？
- 仅在双车道公路上驾驶时。
- 不，除非在“2+1道路”上行驶。
- 仅当卡车或公共汽车想要超车时。
- 是的，当紧急停车带畅通且安全时，可以暂时在那里行驶。
在国道上，紧急停车带通常仅供行人和骑自行车者使用。如果您想让后方车辆超车，可以在没有行人或骑自行车者且附近没有交叉口或入口的情况下，短暂驶入紧急停车带。然而，在高速公路上，除非紧急情况，您不得在紧急停车带上行驶。
