Is it allowed in this situation to pull over?

Description

Legal basis: Art. 49 para. 1 pt. 5 of the Road Traffic Act

Explanation

Correct answer: No

In the visible situation, the roadway is separated from the shoulder by horizontal marking P-7b, a "continuous edge line". This sign prohibits crossing the line and driving onto the shoulder, making it impossible to stop legally at this location. Furthermore, Art. 49 para. 1 pt. 5 of the Road Traffic Act prohibits stopping on the roadway next to a continuous line if it would force other drivers to cross that line.
