Can You Park on the Highway Emergency Lane?
1 Answers
Most emergency lanes on highways are not allowed for parking, but in special circumstances, such as vehicle breakdowns, temporary parking is permitted. Additional information: 1. Parking under non-emergency conditions: However, if parking, driving, or overtaking on the highway emergency lane is done under non-emergency conditions, it violates road traffic safety regulations. According to Article 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: 'For non-emergency parking on the highway emergency lane by vehicles other than operating passenger vehicles, a fine of 200 yuan and 6 penalty points will be imposed; for non-emergency parking on the highway emergency lane by operating passenger vehicles, a fine of 200 yuan and 12 penalty points will be imposed.' 2. Parking under emergency conditions: The highway emergency lane is designated for emergency situations, such as when fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, and engineering rescue vehicles need to perform urgent tasks. If the emergency lane is occupied by private vehicles, preventing these emergency vehicles from reaching the accident site promptly, it could lead to serious consequences due to delayed response times.
