7/12/07-A new law that took effect the first of the month is intended to clarify that it is illegal to stop along the shoulders of interstates or controlled-access highways. Exceptions will be made for breakdowns or emergencies.
Previously, truckers could get away with parking along roadsides if there were no signs posted prohibiting it. The new law, previously HB2431, removes the loophole in state law and allows violators to be fined.
