Can You Use the Emergency Lane for a Bathroom Break?
1 Answers
Highway emergency lanes cannot be used for bathroom breaks. Usage of Emergency Lanes: According to relevant regulations, emergency lanes designated in tunnels, bridges, urban expressways, etc., are only permitted for vehicles such as police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances performing emergency tasks. When there is no emergency, any unauthorized use of the emergency lane by civilian vehicles, whether stopping or driving, constitutes a traffic violation. Penalties for Occupying Emergency Lanes: The penalty for "motor vehicles occupying emergency lanes on urban expressways during traffic congestion" is a fine and 6 demerit points. Additionally, illegally parking in emergency lanes on highways or driving in emergency lanes during highway congestion also results in a fine and 6 demerit points.
