Can the emergency lane on the highway be used for temporary parking?
1 Answers
Highway emergency lanes can be used for temporary parking, and here is an extended introduction: 1. Emergency lanes should not be used for parking under non-emergency situations: to avoid delaying vehicles and personnel who truly need assistance. Feeling tired while driving is considered a non-emergency situation, and drivers should proceed to the nearest service area or exit the highway to rest adequately in their vehicle or at a hotel before continuing their journey, to prevent impaired driving and potential safety hazards. 2. Emergency lanes on highways must not be used for arbitrary parking: Parking is only allowed when the vehicle experiences mechanical failure or other emergencies. Any vehicle driving in the 'emergency lane' is considered a violation. Traffic police will penalize such violations according to the 'Road Traffic Safety Regulations of the People's Republic of China.'
