Are you allowed to stop your vehicle on this hard shoulder?

Description

Art. 49 para. 1 pt. 5 of the Act of 20 June 1997, Road Traffic Law (Journal of Laws of 2012, item 1137, as amended) and § 86 para. 8 pt. 2 of the Regulation of the Ministers of Infrastructure and of Internal Affairs and Administration of 31 July 2002 on road signs and signals (Journal of Laws No. 170, item 1393, as amended).
Explanation

Correct answer: No

Stopping a vehicle on this hard shoulder is prohibited. The visible P-7b "continuous edge line" road marking forbids stopping a vehicle on the hard shoulder next to this line. Such a prohibition is used on high-speed roads where the hard shoulder often serves as an emergency lane and must be kept clear.
