How long can you park on the emergency stopping lane on the highway?

There is no fixed time for emergency stopping on the highway. The purpose of the emergency stopping lane: The emergency stopping lane on the highway is a temporary stopping area provided for vehicles that experience sudden malfunctions or other reasons requiring an emergency stop. The emergency stopping lane is only for use in emergency situations; under normal circumstances, vehicles are not allowed to occupy the emergency stopping lane. The spacing between emergency stopping lanes is approximately 750 meters, designed considering the distance a malfunctioning vehicle can travel and the distance it can be pushed manually. Typically, in the event of a traffic accident on the highway, vehicles are allowed to stop on the emergency stopping lane while waiting for traffic police to arrive at the scene for handling, or when a malfunction occurs during driving and the traffic police signal the vehicle to stop. Difference between the emergency stopping lane and the emergency lane: The setup locations are slightly different; the setup locations are slightly different; the setup locations are slightly different.
I've been driving on highways for many years, and the emergency stopping lane is definitely not a place for long-term parking. It should only be used briefly in cases of a flat tire or sudden breakdown. Typically, regulations require that simple issues be resolved or help awaited within 10 to 30 minutes before moving on. Parking for too long is extremely dangerous because vehicles on the highway move at very high speeds, and a momentary lapse in attention can lead to rear-end collisions. I've developed the habit of checking tire pressure and lights before driving to minimize sudden malfunctions. Once stopped in the emergency lane, turn on hazard lights, place a warning triangle, and stand in a safe area away from the vehicle. The law permits brief use, but never abuse it, or you risk fines or towing. Remember, safety first—don’t exceed half an hour.
