How many minutes can you park on the highway emergency lane without being fined?
1 Answers
Parking on the highway emergency lane will be penalized regardless of the duration. Unless there is sufficient justification proving that the stop was due to an emergency, penalties will apply. Only when a vehicle breaks down and cannot continue driving is it permissible to park in the emergency lane to await assistance. The following behaviors are prohibited while driving on the highway: reversing, driving in the opposite direction, making a U-turn across the central divider, or stopping within a lane. Overtaking on ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes. Riding or straddling the lane divider or driving on the shoulder. Driving or parking in the emergency lane without an emergency. Testing vehicles or learning to drive a motor vehicle.
