Clause 1.10 (term "Shoulder")

Shoulder — a structurally designated element of a roadway or one marked by a solid line of road marking, which adjoins directly to the outer edge of the carriageway, is located at the same level with it, and is not intended for the movement of vehicles, except in cases provided for by these Rules. The shoulder may be used for stopping and parking vehicles, movement of pedestrians, mopeds, bicycles (in the absence of sidewalks, pedestrian, or bicycle paths, or if it is impossible to move along them), and horse-drawn carts (sledges).

Brief application: for a car driver, the shoulder is not a place for driving, but is directly defined as a place that may be used for stopping and parking (unless other traffic rules establish a prohibition under specific conditions).

Clause 1.10 (term "Stopping")

Stopping — cessation of movement of a vehicle for up to 5 minutes or more if necessary for boarding (alighting) passengers or loading (unloading) cargo, or to comply with the requirements of these Rules.

Clause 1.10 (term "Parking")

Parking — cessation of movement of a vehicle for more than 5 minutes for reasons not related to the need to comply with the requirements of these Rules, boarding (alighting) passengers, or loading (unloading) cargo.

That is, the correct answer is "For stopping and parking," given that according to the definition in the Traffic Rules, the shoulder is not intended for the movement of vehicles, but is directly provided for stopping and parking vehicles.

The shoulder is defined in the Traffic Rules as an element of the road adjacent to the edge of the carriageway and located at the same level with it, but generally not intended for the movement of vehicles. That is, for a car driver, the shoulder is not an “additional lane” for driving, bypassing traffic jams, or overtaking others.

At the same time, the very definition of the term states that the shoulder may be used for stopping and parking vehicles. This is the main right of a car driver regarding the shoulder: if necessary, to safely leave the carriageway, stop, or park the car in such a way as not to create obstacles for other road users.

For example, if you need to answer an important call, check your cargo, or take a short technical break, the correct action is to pull over onto the shoulder and stop. However, using the shoulder as a route for driving a car instead of the carriageway is not allowed by the Traffic Rules, because it is not intended for this purpose.

Therefore, the correct answer is "For stopping and parking," since, according to the definition in the Traffic Rules, the shoulder is not intended for driving cars but is specifically provided for stopping and parking vehicles.
