Can you park on the emergency lane of a highway?

Non-emergency parking is not allowed on the emergency lane of a highway. The following are precautions for changing tires on a highway: Parking the car on the emergency lane: When changing a tire, the vehicle should be parked on the emergency lane by the roadside. If the vehicle cannot move from the center of the highway lane, it is advisable to call for assistance, and all passengers should evacuate to a safe area outside the lane. Placing a triangular warning sign: Whether calling for assistance or changing the tire yourself, and whether the vehicle is parked in the center of the highway or on the emergency lane, a triangular warning sign must be placed behind the vehicle, and the hazard lights should be turned on. If the vehicle can still move, try not to stop in a tunnel or on a viaduct, as these are very dangerous locations. After changing the spare tire, leave the area as soon as possible and do not linger.
