Fromme, J.,
concurring: Although I agree with the majority opinion I wish to point out, in my opinion, the prohibition in K. S. A. 8-570 against stopping on the highway does not apply under the uncontroverted facts of this case.
The accident occurred in a business district adjacent to the city of Topeka. Defendant was stopped at a crossover leading into the place of business of A. & S. Mobilehomes. U. S. Highway 75 is lined with retail business establishments on both sides of the highway for many blocks north and south of where the accident occurred. There was a break in the median strip of the highway at the place where the accident occurred. This break or crossover was for the purpose of permitting a motorist going north to wait for southbound traffic before crossing over to the place of business of A. & S. Mobilehomes.
*303The cases relied on by appellant relate to accidents occurring on country roads outside of business or residential districts.
The prohibition in K. S. A. 8-570 against stopping on the highway does not apply under the facts of this case.
