The 'arcén' is the hard shoulder or verge of a road, primarily designated as a safety space for specific vulnerable vehicles, breakdowns, or emergencies, not for regular traffic flow.
Vehicles such as mopeds, cycles, animal-drawn vehicles, vehicles for persons with reduced mobility, and special vehicles under 3,500 kg must use the 'arcén' if available and suitable.
No, motorcycles are generally prohibited from using the 'arcén' to bypass traffic. It is reserved for specific vehicles or emergency situations only. Mopeds, however, must use it.
Cyclists have priority when they are circulating on a well-signposted 'arcén', when another vehicle intends to turn and there are cyclists nearby, or when they are part of a group that has already entered an intersection.
No, the 'arcén' of *autovías* (and *autopistas*) cannot be used for circulating, stopping, or parking for a rest, even in dense traffic. It is strictly for emergencies like breakdowns, accidents, or driver/passenger illness.
