Trans Canada highway
Would like to know what the Trans Canada Highway is like. Is the area along the route anything at all like Alaska? Are there places where one can pull off and boon dock like in the Yukon? We've travel...

Or, adapt to local conditions. I have been known to pull over on the side of the Trans Canada, when I needed to stop. & believe me, if you need to quit driving, I can't imagine any cop who would give you a ticket, for just pulling over out of the line of traffic.
If you're saying to pull over into the shoulder and park? I can't speak for out east but out here you won't get away with it! Emergency stopping only!
You won't get a ticket but you will be told to move on.
What is your specific? I cannot imagine a skilled, experienced policeman saying, keep driving and fall asleep at the wheel.
:C
If you're tired then you should have stopped at a safe location before you feel you have to pull over on a highway shoulder. FYI, this also applies to people who pull over to the shoulder to use their cell phone in a non-emergency.
