Question 5183

Is the vehicle shown in the photograph correctly parked?

  1. No, because it obstructs traffic.
  2. Yes, because it is outside the usable part of the shoulder.
  3. Only if it is parked for less than two minutes.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Yes, because it is outside the usable part of the shoulder.

Outside a built-up area, you may park on the right if you leave your vehicle off the roadway and keep the usable part of the shoulder clear, like the white passenger car in the image, which is on the grass. This keeps it from obstructing traffic, and parking has no two-minute limit.
