Can You Temporarily Park on the Emergency Lane of a Highway?
1 Answers
Highway emergency lanes are not for temporary parking. Below is relevant information about highway emergency lanes: Overview: The emergency lane on a highway is a "life channel" reserved exclusively for emergency vehicles. Except in cases of vehicle malfunction, no vehicle is allowed to park on the emergency lane at any time. Otherwise, according to traffic regulations, the driver will face a fine and a penalty of 6 demerit points. Parking Regulations: If a motor vehicle is involved in a traffic accident or experiences a malfunction and genuinely needs to temporarily park in the emergency lane, the driver must use hazard lights as a warning and place a warning sign at least 150 meters behind the vehicle in the direction of oncoming traffic to alert other drivers to safety.
