How Long Can You Park Temporarily on the Roadside?
1 Answers
Temporary parking on the roadside is acceptable for up to 5 minutes. Temporary parking refers to a brief stop on the right side of the road in the direction of traffic, on a road where parking is not prohibited, with the driver remaining in the vehicle. There are two key points to note for temporary parking: the driver must not leave the vehicle, and the duration should not be too long. Areas where parking is prohibited: Road shoulders marked with yellow no-parking lines indicate areas where roadside parking or stopping is forbidden. The length of the line indicates the scope of the no-parking zone. Yellow grid lines mark areas where parking is prohibited for any reason, typically used at intersections, entrances, and exits where temporary parking could easily cause traffic congestion. Special areas such as within 30 meters of bus stops, gas stations, emergency stations, and in front of fire stations do not allow temporary parking. Parking is not permitted at intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads less than 4 meters wide, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, or within 50 meters of such locations. No parking is allowed on road sections with separation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, as well as at crosswalks and construction zones.
