Can roadside parking spaces be used for long-term parking?
1 Answers
Roadside parking spaces marked with solid white lines can be used for long-term parking. If they are temporary parking spaces, there will be signs indicating the parking duration, and drivers should park according to the instructions. According to Article 33 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, newly built, renovated, or expanded public buildings, commercial districts, residential areas, and large (medium)-sized buildings must be equipped with or expanded parking lots. The following four situations require the use of hazard lights: 1. Temporary parking: Hazard lights must be turned on during temporary parking, and in some cases, warning signs must also be placed. When a vehicle is temporarily parked for waiting or picking up items, hazard lights should be activated to alert others of the parked vehicle. 2. When a vehicle is being towed due to a malfunction: Both the malfunctioning vehicle and the towing vehicle must turn on their hazard lights; otherwise, they may face penalty points and fines. Failure to use hazard lights in this situation can lead to accidents, as following vehicles may not be aware of the towing status. 3. When visibility is less than 100 meters: In northern regions, foggy weather in autumn and winter often reduces visibility to less than 100 meters, requiring the use of hazard lights. 4. When permitted by traffic police: In certain special circumstances, with permission from traffic authorities, vehicles in a convoy may need to activate their hazard lights.
