Parking on narrow shoulders for recreation okay?

So, it's sort a regular thing now that there is always a van or truck parked on the narrow shoulders near SMCM. Makes a bit of a pain when cyclists are going past. Is it legal to park like that for hours on end? Right here is where it's the worst.

I wouldn't think it's legal to park on the narrow shoulders; if, in fact they are roadside shoulders and not bike/pedestrian lanes. I haven't been by SMCM lately, but those narrow lanes are usually designated for pedestrians or bicycles.

just noticed, in Street View, there are two perfect examples.

Barely wide enough to be a proper breakdown lane.

I would say, LEGAL, if it wasn't there would be easy money the government is leaving on the table (and it would likely be posted as NO PARKING, STANDING or STOPPING
