Where should a driver not stop according to traffic regulations?

Stopping on a bridge or other elevated highway structure is prohibited according to traffic regulations because it poses significant safety risks. Bridges are typically designed for traffic flow without interruption; stopping could cause accidents or block emergency vehicles. Additionally, these structures often have limited space and visibility, increasing the likelihood of collisions. Traffic congestion may also arise if a vehicle stops unexpectedly, which can lead to further dangers for all drivers on the road.

On the other hand, parking lots, city parks, and county roads usually have designated areas for stopping or parking that comply with local regulations. Therefore, stopping in those areas is generally acceptable as long as drivers adhere to any posted rules or guidelines.
