§ 30-388.11. Stopping, standing or parking outside of municipalities.

(1)

Upon any street or highway outside of a municipality, no person shall stop, park or leave standing any vehicle, whether attended or unattended, upon the paved or main traveled part of the highway or street when it is practical to stop, park, or so leave such vehicle off such part of said highway or street; but in every event an unobstructed width of the highway or street opposite a standing vehicle shall be left for the free passage of other vehicles and a clear view of such stopped vehicle shall be available from a distance of two hundred (200) feet in each direction upon such highway or street.

(2)

This section shall not apply to the driver or owner of any vehicle which is disabled, while on the paved or main traveled portion of a highway or street in such a manner and to such extent that it is impossible to avoid stopping and temporarily leaving such disabled vehicle in such position, or to passenger-carrying buses temporarily parked while loading or discharging passengers, where road conditions render such parking off the paved portion of the highway or street hazardous or impractical.

(3)

(a)
Whenever any officer finds a vehicle standing upon a highway or street in violation of any of the foregoing provisions of this section such officer is hereby authorized to move such vehicle, or require the driver or other persons in charge of the vehicle to move the same, to a position off the paved or main traveled part of such highway.

(b)

Whenever any officer finds a vehicle unattended upon any bridge or causeway or in any tunnel, or on any public highway or street, where such vehicle constitutes an obstruction to traffic, such officer is hereby authorized to provide for the removal of such vehicle to the nearest garage or other place of safety.
