15-602 : Stopping, standing or parking outside of business or residential districts.

  1. Upon any highway outside of a business or residential 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 the highway, but in every event an unobstructed width of the highway opposite a standing vehicle of not less than eighteen feet (18') 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 (200') in each direction upon such highway.
    1. 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.
    2. The provisions of this section shall not apply to the driver of any vehicle operating as a carrier of passengers for hire and holding a certificate of convenience and necessity, or interstate permit issued by the department of safety or any local regulatory transit authority of Tennessee authorizing the operation of such vehicle upon the roads, streets or highways in Tennessee, while taking passengers on such vehicle, or discharging passengers therefrom; provided, that in every event an unobstructed lane of travel of the highway opposite such standing vehicle shall be left for free passage of other vehicles and a clear view of such stopped vehicles shall be available from a distance of two hundred feet (200') in either direction upon the highway.
    3. The provisions of this section do not apply to a solid waste vehicle while on the paved or improved main traveled portion of a road, street or highway in such manner and to such extent as is necessary for the sole purpose of collecting municipal solid waste, provided, that such vehicle shall maintain flashing hazard lights at all times while it is stopping or standing; and provided further, that the vehicle is stopped so that a clear view of such stopped vehicle is available from a distance of two hundred feet (200') in either direction upon the highway. In addition to flashing hazard lights, such vehicles shall be required to maintain special lights visible from both the front and the rear indicating that the truck is stopped. The department of safety is authorized to promulgate rules and regulations regarding special lighting required by § 15-602(2)(c). The provisions of § 15-602(2)(c) do not preclude any claimant from pursuing such claimant's common law claim for recovery pursuant to common law negligence. (1999 Code, § 15-602)
