You want to stop on an expressway shoulder only to check directions. There is no emergency and no sign authorizing a stop. Is that permitted?
Correct answer: No. Find a legal place to stop off the expressway.
Why
A driver must not stop on a limited-access road or its entrance or exit lanes except in the applicable authorized or necessary circumstances. Plan to check directions at a safe legal place off the expressway. This does not mean driving through stopped traffic or ignoring a police direction; a required traffic stop is a different situation.
