Wis JI-Civil 1115
Parking: Stopping: Leaving Vehicle Off the Roadway
A safety statute provides that the (parking,) (stopping,) (or) (standing) of a vehicle off
the roadway is unlawful unless there is left an unobstructed width of at least 15 feet upon the
roadway opposite the (parked) (stopped) (standing) vehicle for the free passage of other
vehicles. A vehicle is off the roadway when it is upon the shoulder adjacent to the concrete or
traveled portion of the highway.
The statute also provides that a standing vehicle must be left in a position that can be
seen by drivers of other vehicles from a distance of 500 feet in each direction along the
highway.
[If there is evidence that the vehicle was disabled, add Wis JI-Civil 1125 Parking;
Stopping: Leaving Vehicles on the Roadway; Exceptions.]
