Explanation

A halt (detención) is when the vehicle comes to a standstill not by the driver's choice, because of an emergency, because of traffic, or to obey rules or signs. So it is indeed possible to halt on a motorway (autopista), for example if we come across a traffic jam, our vehicle breaks down, or we feel unwell.
