for emergency reasons.
An emergency, such as a breakdown or crash. Voluntary stopping and parking require leaving the usable shoulder clear. If immobilisation is unavoidable, use the safest possible place, provide the required warning and request help where necessary. Do not confuse an emergency with using the shoulder to pick up passengers or unload for convenience.
