leave standing

leave standing
An expression familiar in reference to statutes and ordinances prohibiting or regulating the parking of vehicles on the streets and other public highways. As used in a statute making it unlawful to leave standing on a highway any vehicle, whether attended or not, without leaving fifteen feet of the traveled portion of the highway clear for traffic on the left, the words "leave standing" are held to mean "stopping at all without leaving the required clearance." The word "leave" means to put, place, deposit, deliver, or the like. Stand means to cease from movement or progress; to pause; to stop; to remain stationary or inactive. Jaggers v Southeastern Greyhound Lines (DC Tenn) 34 F Supp 667.
