What is the maximum period a vehicle may be parked outside urban areas?

The maximum period a vehicle may be parked outside urban areas is 24 hours. This regulation is in place to ensure that vehicles do not become an obstruction or pose a hazard to other road users. An extended parking duration, such as 48 hours, could lead to complications like traffic flow issues or potential vandalism, while shorter periods like 8 or 12 hours do not adequately consider the practical needs of drivers who may require more time for resting or attending to matters away from their vehicle. Therefore, setting the limit at 24 hours balances the need for vehicle owners to park safely without creating unnecessary hazards on roadways.
