Which lights must you leave on if you park a vehicle on the shoulder of a poorly lit interurban road?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

According to the General Traffic Regulations, any vehicle stopped or parked between sunset and sunrise on the roadway or shoulder of an interurban road must have its position lights (sidelights) switched on. Since the road is poorly lit, this rule is critical for road safety. Position lights allow other drivers to perceive the presence and width of the vehicle, preventing collisions. The use of high beams is prohibited while the vehicle is stationary or parked because it dazzles others, and leaving no lights on would turn the vehicle into a dangerous, invisible obstacle.
