Regulación sobre detenerse y estacionar vehículos en la carretera

Explicación Simple

Esta ley dice que no puedes detener tu auto en la carretera a menos que sea necesario. Por ejemplo, si tu auto se descompone, hay ciertas reglas sobre cuánto tiempo puedes dejarlo ahí.

Es como cuando estás cocinando y necesitas espacio en la mesa. No puedes dejar todos los ingredientes regados en la mesa, solo los que vas a usar en ese momento.

Imagina que Juan está manejando por una carretera en Kentucky y su auto se descompone. Juan sabe que no puede dejar su auto en la orilla más de 24 horas, así que llama a un mecánico para que lo ayude a moverlo antes de que pase ese tiempo.
