   (B)   The department, with respect to highways under its jurisdiction or for the maintenance of which it is responsible, may place signs prohibiting or restricting the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles on any highway where in its opinion stopping, standing, or parking is dangerous to those using the highway, or where stopping, standing, or parking vehicles would unduly interfere with the free movement of traffic thereon. Any regulations adopted by the department regarding the stopping, standing, or parking of vehicles upon any specific street, streets, or highways become effective at the time of the erection of appropriate signs indicating the regulations. Any signs may be erected either by the department or by a local authority with the approval of the department.
   (C)   This section, and §§ 73.004 and 73.005 shall not apply to the driver of any vehicle which is disabled in such manner and to such extent that it is impossible to avoid stopping and temporarily leaving the vehicle in such position.
