B)Yes, as long as it is to pick up or drop off a person.
C)No.Correct
It must be considered that the hard shoulder of interurban roads is the area used by various types of vehicles, such as cycles, mopeds, and animal-drawn vehicles, among others. If we stop our vehicle on the hard shoulder, we will be obstructing their normal circulation. For this reason, when making a stop, it must be done on the right side of the road, outside the trafficable part of the hard shoulder. Do not confuse a stop or parking, which is a voluntary manoeuvre by the driver and must be carried out correctly. On the other hand, if we make an emergency halt (involuntary for the driver), although we must try to do so in the most appropriate place and without obstructing other road users, it is not always possible to do so.
