Explanation
During an emergency stop, it is advisable to park on the right side of the roadway, not the left, unless you are on a one-way street. This is important for the safety of both the driver and other road users. If you're experiencing vehicle trouble, get your vehicle off the road and away from traffic if possible. Always use your emergency flashers to indicate trouble, and aim to stop where other drivers have a clear view of your vehicle if you cannot get your vehicle off the roadway.
