Can You Park on a Ramp?

[LeMaximus]

Parking is not allowed on any part of the highway ramp. A highway ramp is a road on the right side of a highway exit or entrance (usually 150-200 meters long). Also known as an approach, a ramp is an engineering term that typically refers to a short section of road providing access to or from main highways, elevated roads, bridges, and tunnels, connecting to adjacent service roads or other main roads via overpasses, inclines, or feeder roads, as well as collector-distributor roads. It is a key component of road interchange infrastructure. Here are some important considerations regarding ramps: 1. Pay attention to roadside signs: On highways, watch for signs before the ramp entrance to avoid last-minute stops for checks. 2. If you miss the ramp, continue forward—do not reverse: If you are too close or have already passed the ramp entrance, avoid sudden braking or reversing, as high-speed vehicles behind you may not have enough time to react, leading to rear-end collisions. 3. Use the auxiliary lane when entering or exiting ramps: Since most ramps have a speed limit of 60 km/h, highways provide an "auxiliary lane"—marked with short, thick, and conspicuous white lines—separate from the main lanes to allow safe speed adjustment for vehicles.
