Can You Change a Tire on the Highway?

[EmeryRose]

You cannot change a tire on the highway. Below are the relevant regulations regarding highways: 1. Speed: Pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles, tractors, wheeled special machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full-trailer towing vehicles, and other motor vehicles with a maximum design speed of less than 70 kilometers per hour are not allowed on highways. The maximum speed indicated by highway speed limit signs must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour. 2. Breakdowns: If a motor vehicle breaks down on the highway, the provisions of Article 52 of this law shall apply. Warning signs should be placed at least 150 meters away from the direction of oncoming traffic, and passengers should quickly move to the right shoulder or emergency lane and call the police immediately. In cases where a vehicle experiences sudden failure and cannot operate normally—including a flat tire, engine malfunction, transmission failure, brake failure, steering loss, accidents, or incidents like fires or explosions—if the vehicle cannot operate normally or if the safety of passengers is at risk, it is permissible to pull over onto the emergency lane.
