Can You Drive on the Emergency Lane?
1 Answers
Under non-emergency circumstances, motor vehicles are not allowed to drive on the emergency lane. When driving on highways, motor vehicles must not occupy the emergency lane. Principle of Emergency Lane Monitoring: Generally, there are cameras installed near the emergency lane, with a monitoring distance of approximately 150 meters. The basis for capturing violations is whether the vehicle crosses the solid line. When a vehicle crosses the solid line of the right lane, the camera will capture the violation. The cameras on the emergency lane typically capture the front of the vehicle. Situations Where Using the Emergency Lane Is Permitted: If a vehicle experiences a breakdown, such as a flat tire or engine failure, it can move to the emergency lane. At the same time, the driver must turn on the hazard warning lights and place the warning triangle 150 meters behind the vehicle, then call the police. Failure to follow these procedures may result in a fine, even if the vehicle is genuinely experiencing a breakdown.
