Parking, Reversing & Roadside StopsStandalone practice
You must stop beside a two-lane rural highway, and the shoulder is too narrow for all four wheels to get off the pavement. What does Tennessee law require about where you leave the car?
Blue A travels beside a narrow shoulder on a two-lane rural road.
Correct answer: Leave 18 feet of open road width beside it, where drivers can see it from 200 feet each way.
Why
Outside a city, park with all four wheels off the pavement if you can. When you cannot, the 18-foot width lets other vehicles pass, and 200 feet of view gives them time to see you and slow down. Never stop just past a curve or the top of a hill.
