Parkway as the place of occurrence of the external cause

This code indicates that an injury or adverse event occurred on a parkway. This specifies the type of roadway where the external cause of the patient's condition originated, distinguishing it from other types of streets or highways.

Use this code when documentation clearly states that the incident, such as a motor vehicle accident, pedestrian injury, or other external cause, took place on a parkway. This is crucial for accurately reporting the location of the event.

• Always assign this code as a secondary code, following the primary external cause code (e.g., V-code for transport accidents).
• Ensure the documentation explicitly mentions "parkway" to support the use of this specific code.
• Do not use this code for incidents occurring on general highways, freeways, or other types of roads not specifically designated as parkways.
