In Norwegian traffic rules (Vegtrafikkloven), under what circumstances is stopping on the shoulder of a motorway (motorvei) permitted in Norway?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Only in acute emergencies such as vehicle breakdown, accident, or sudden driver illness
- Step 1: Under § 9 of Trafikkreglene, stopping on motorways or emergency lanes is strictly illegal except in unavoidable vehicle breakdowns or medical emergencies. Answer: Only in acute emergencies such as vehicle breakdown, accident, or sudden driver illness. Why not the others: the alternative options do not conform to statutory traffic regulations under the Norwegian Road Traffic Act (Vegtrafikkloven and Trafikkreglene).
