When meeting oncoming traffic on a national road, is it permitted to move into the hard shoulder to allow following traffic to overtake?
- Yes, when a truck or bus is oncoming.
- No, it is never permitted to drive on a hard shoulder except in the case of an emergency.
- No, except on "2-plus-1 roads".
- 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.

在国道上遇到迎面而来的车辆时，是否允许驶入硬路肩以让后方车辆超车？
- 是的，当一辆卡车或公共汽车迎面而来时。
- 不，除非在紧急情况下，否则绝不允许在硬路肩上行驶。
- 不，除非在“2+1道路”上。
- 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。
