Whenever a vehicle becomes stalled for any reason, whether or not in violation of this subchapter, or any part of a primary snow emergency route during a declared snow emergency when a parking prohibition is in effect, the person operating the vehicle shall take immediate action to have the vehicle pushed or towed off the roadway and the primary snow-emergency route. No person shall abandon or leave his or her vehicle in the roadway of a primary snow emergency route regardless of whether he or she indicates, by reasons or otherwise, that the vehicle is stalled, except for the purpose of securing assistance during the actual time necessary to go to a nearby telephone or to a nearby garage, gasoline station or other place of assistance and return without delay. In no event shall a vehicle be abandoned for the purpose of getting assistance for more than 30 minutes. Operators of vehicles must notify or contact the Police Department within 30 minutes that they have secured service or have been promised service or assistance to occur within a reasonable time.
