Passing target: 16 correct signs and 16 correct rules (TLA practice targets)
Parking, accessible parking and roadside stopsStandalone practice
You need to stop on an Ontario highway outside a local municipality. Your car can still move safely and a suitable off-road stopping place is reachable. What should you do?
A blue car is in a rural road lane beside a wide clear paved shoulder.
Correct answer: Move completely off the roadway at that safe place.
Why
In the stated case, stop off the roadway. HTA section 170(1) requires this where it is practicable and the provision applies. This is not an absolute rule for every breakdown: section 170(8) covers a vehicle so disabled that a temporary contravention cannot be avoided. Other stopping restrictions still apply.
