1 Answers
Generally, parking on the emergency lane of a highway is not allowed, except in special circumstances such as vehicle breakdowns. The emergency lane is specifically designated for emergency vehicles like ambulances, fire trucks, and police or military vehicles when emergencies occur. Below are precautions for temporary parking on the highway emergency lane: 1. Immediately turn on the hazard lights after parking on the emergency lane; 2. Place a warning triangle 150 meters behind the vehicle, and ensure all passengers stand in a safe area (outside the guardrail). 3. If the emergency lane is used at night, it is also necessary to turn on the width marker lights and rear lights to alert vehicles approaching from behind.
