Can the emergency lane on the highway be used for temporary parking?
1 Answers
The emergency lane on the highway cannot be used for temporary parking. In special circumstances, such as a vehicle breakdown, temporary parking is allowed. However, stopping or driving on the highway emergency lane under non-emergency conditions is a violation of road traffic safety laws and regulations. The emergency lane is designated for official vehicles like ambulances, fire trucks, and police or military vehicles during emergencies. Located on the right side of the highway and separated by a solid white line, the emergency lane is generally off-limits to civilian vehicles as it serves as a lifeline. However, if a vehicle experiences a breakdown or encounters an unsolvable issue, temporary parking on the emergency lane is permitted to request assistance, provided personal safety is ensured.
