Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
If an emergency forces a driver to stop on a highway shoulder, where should the vehicle be placed?
Correct answer: As far from moving traffic as practical, with warning measures used when needed.
Why
Move as far from moving traffic as practical and make the disabled vehicle visible with appropriate warning measures. Avoid stopping in a travel lane when you can safely clear it. The roadside-stopping statute recognizes a vehicle disabled so that stopping in the traveled way cannot be avoided; it does not require an impossible movement that would create another crash.
