Which of the following statements about the passage of processions and similar groups is correct?
Processions, etc. are an exception that may use the roadway instead of the sidewalk, and which side of the roadway they use follows the same rule as motor vehicles and horses (Article 9(1) of the Road Traffic Act, Article 7 of the Enforcement Decree). Using the center of the road is allowed only in specific cases (paragraph 2), so watch out for "always."
Answer: ②
Explanation
Under Article 9(1) of the Road Traffic Act and Article 7 of the Enforcement Decree, funeral processions, military columns, and people driving large animals may use the roadway, and they must keep to its right side. So saying that people driving large animals must stay on the sidewalk, or that processions keep left, is wrong. Under paragraph 2, using the center of the road is allowed only when marching through the streets for a socially important event.
