Can You Park on the Emergency Lane on the Highway?

[Allen]

Parking on the emergency lane of a highway is not allowed unless under special circumstances, such as vehicle breakdown, in which case temporary parking is permitted. However, parking or driving on the highway emergency lane under non-emergency conditions constitutes a violation of road traffic safety laws and regulations. The emergency lane is designated for official vehicles like ambulances, fire trucks, and police or military vehicles during emergencies. It is located on the right side of the highway, separated by a solid white line. Generally, private vehicles are not allowed to use the emergency lane as it is a vital passage for emergencies. Nevertheless, if a vehicle encounters a malfunction or an unsolvable issue, it may temporarily stop on the emergency lane to request assistance, provided that personal safety is ensured.
