(a) No person
				  may stop, park, or leave standing a vehicle, whether attended or unattended,
				  upon or within eight feet of a roadway, except where the roadway is of
				  sufficient width and design to allow parking without interfering with the
				  normal flow of traffic or with snow removal or other highway maintenance, and
				  where the parking, stopping, or standing is not prohibited by an official
				  traffic-control device, unless directed to do so by a flag person or police
				  officer. If an emergency requires a vehicle to be parked or stopped on a
				  controlled or divided highway, that vehicle must have activated four-way
				  emergency flashers, three operating highway flares, or three reflective
				  triangles in place.
(b) This
				  section and sec. 365 of this chapter do not apply to the driver of a vehicle
				  performing an official duty which requires stopping, standing or parking upon
				  or within eight feet of a roadway or to the driver of a vehicle which is
				  disabled in a manner and to an extent that it is impossible to avoid stopping
				  and temporarily leaving the vehicle upon or within eight feet of a roadway. The
				  driver of a disabled vehicle shall comply with the requirements of sec. 345 of
				  this chapter.
(c) A vehicle that is
				  stopped, parked, or standing in violation of a statute, regulation, or
				  ordinance, is considered to have been stopped, parked or left standing by the
				  registered owner of the vehicle unless the registered owner is able to prove
				  that at the time of the violation the vehicle was driven or parked without his
				  consent.
(d) Except when necessary
				  to avoid conflict with other traffic, or to comply with statutes, regulations
				  or ordinances, the directions of a police officer, fireman, authorized flagman,
				  or official traffic-control device, no person may
(1) stop, stand or park a vehicle
(A) on the roadway side of a vehicle stopped
				  or parked at the edge or curb of a street;
(B) on a sidewalk;
(C) within an intersection;
(D) within a crosswalk;
(E) between a safety zone and the adjacent
				  curb or within 30 feet of points on the curb immediately opposite the ends of a
				  safety zone, unless a different length is indicated by signs or
				  markings;
(F) alongside or opposite
				  a street excavation or obstruction when stopping, standing, or parking would
				  obstruct traffic;
(G) upon a bridge
				  or other elevated structure upon a highway or within a highway
				  tunnel;
(H) on a railroad
				  track;
(I) on a controlled-access
				  highway;
(J) in the area between
				  roadways of a divided highway, including crossovers;
(K) at a place where official traffic-control
				  devices prohibit stopping, standing, or parking; or
(L) in a designated zone for persons with
				  disabilities unless the vehicle is displaying current license plates or permit
				  in accordance with
				  AS
				  28.10.181(d) or
				  28.10.495(a) and
				  the following conditions are immediately present:
(i) a person with a disability of 70 percent
				  or more is on board the vehicle; and

				  vehicle upon stopping or parking in the designated handicapped zone;
