In this situation, are you allowed to park your vehicle at the roadside?

Description

Act of 20 June 1997 - Road Traffic Act (Journal of Laws of 1997, No. 98, item 602, as amended).

Explanation

Correct answer: No

No, because stopping or parking a vehicle on a motorway or expressway is only permitted in designated areas. The emergency lane (hard shoulder) visible in the video is to be used exclusively for stopping a vehicle in the event of a breakdown. According to Art. 49 para. 1 pt. 5 of the Road Traffic Act, parking in this location is prohibited and poses a significant threat to safety.
