That's a tough call and very specific to circumstances at the time.

The question is "Which way is a safe direction?"

Certainly not the Center median.

Assuming that you're able to pull off on the Right shoulder and the terrain permits, then moving further Right seems appropriate.

It also depend on what the "blinding agent" is and is it continuing?

Dust storm and still can't see?

Rain storm and still can't see?"

Snow storm and still can't see?"

Thank you. I was riding a bus when it came over a rise in the freeway to find a car straddling broadside lanes 2 and 3 of the four lanes and cars were pulled over on both sides of the shoulder next to the incident, trying to help the person in the car. This was ironically in Salt Lake City. At any rate, the bus driver had no chance to avoid the accident except by sideswiping the cars on the left shoulder and dropping into the median. In that case we could see enough to take evasive action but I have seen accidents where cars pulled over end up crunched by semis in the rear.
