No
Highway code -
248
You MUST NOT park on a road at night facing against the direction of the traffic flow unless in a recognised parking space.

249
All vehicles MUST display parking lights when parked on a road or a lay-by on a road with a speed limit greater than 30 mph (48 km/h).

To answer the question, no. You need lights, because it's over 30mph.

Fred3663 is correct and the highway code is the law so park without lights or against the flow will get you a fine and may even get you some points on your licence!

Worse still, it could cause an accident!

You can't park in a road in the first place, but if you are FORCED to stop on the road then you have to have your hazard lights on. You are supposed to make sure you can be clearly seen as well. As to parking lights I wouldn't really say you need them if you have your 4-ways on, but you may want to put them on.
