Are High Beams Prohibited on Highways?
1 Answers
Highways do not prohibit the use of high beams. On highways, lanes in opposite directions are separated by barriers, and the distance between vehicles is relatively large, making the use of high beams relatively safe. On road sections without lighting facilities, high beams also help to see the road ahead more clearly. However, prolonged use of high beams can cause eye fatigue quickly and may lead to illusions. Therefore, when driving on highways at night, avoid using high beams continuously and adjust the lighting according to different situations. According to relevant regulations: 1. When driving at night without streetlights, poor lighting, or encountering low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust, or hail, vehicles should turn on headlights, clearance lights, and tail lights. 2. When a following vehicle is driving close to the vehicle in front in the same direction, high beams should not be used. 3. Vehicles driving in foggy conditions should turn on fog lights and hazard warning flashers.
