Question 3539

You have parked your passenger car on the usable shoulder of the freeway to eat a sandwich. Is this correct?

  1. Yes, provided I mark it appropriately.
  2. Yes, because the shoulder is not part of the roadway and I am not causing an obstruction.
  3. No, because it is prohibited.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because it is prohibited.

On a freeway, stopping or parking is allowed only in designated areas. The shoulder is not a permitted place to stop to eat.
