Practice question

When parking your vehicle on a freeway, you should

  1. Park as close as possible to the right curb
  2. Come to a complete stop
  3. Make sure your vehicle is visible to other drivers
  4. Stay in the right lane

Answer: C — Make sure your vehicle is visible to other drivers

When parking on a freeway, it is important to always make sure your vehicle is visible to other drivers. This means choosing a safe and legal parking spot, such as a designated rest stop or a wide shoulder, and ensuring that your vehicle's lights and hazard lights are turned on to alert other drivers of your presence. Option A is incorrect because parking too close to the curb can obstruct the flow of traffic and also increase the risk of your vehicle being hit by passing cars. Option B is incorrect because coming to a complete stop is only necessary when you are parking in a parking lot or on a street, not on a freeway. Option D is incorrect because it is important to get off the road completely when parking on a freeway, rather than stay in the right lane.
