Which of the following things must you do if you are parked on a rural highway?

When you’re parked on a rural highway, the safest priority is to keep traffic moving past you without forcing nearby drivers to get too close. Leaving at least 15 feet of road width for approaching vehicles creates a buffer, allowing other drivers to pass safely at high speeds and in potentially limited visibility. This space reduces the risk of sideswipe crashes and keeps the travel lanes clear for ongoing traffic. If possible, pull entirely onto the shoulder and use hazard lights to warn other drivers. Parking closer to the shoulder or continuing to block the roadway increases danger and is not appropriate in this situation.
