§ 1201. Stopping, standing, or parking outside of business or

residence districts. (a) Upon any highway outside of a business or

residence district no person shall stop, park, or leave standing any

vehicle, whether attended or unattended, upon the paved or main-traveled

part of the highway when it is practicable to stop, park, or so leave

such vehicle off such part of said highway, but in every event an

unobstructed width of the highway opposite a standing vehicle shall be

left for the free passage of other vehicles and a clear view of such

stopped vehicles shall be available from a distance of two hundred feet

in each direction upon such highway.

(b) This section shall not apply to the driver of any vehicle which is

disabled while on the paved or main-traveled portion of a highway in

such manner and to such extent that it is impossible to avoid stopping

and temporarily leaving such disabled vehicle in such position.
