Is Changing Tires Not Allowed on Highways?

[DePaul]

Changing tires is not permitted on highways. Below are the relevant regulations regarding highways: 1. Speed: Pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, tractors, wheeled special machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full-trailer trucks, and other motor vehicles with a designed maximum speed below 70 kilometers per hour are not allowed to enter highways. The maximum speed indicated by highway speed limit signs must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour. 2. Breakdowns: When a motor vehicle breaks down on a highway, the provisions of Article 52 of this law shall apply. Warning signs should be placed at least 150 meters away from the direction of oncoming traffic. Passengers should quickly move to the right shoulder or emergency lane and promptly call the police. In cases where a vehicle experiences sudden malfunctions that prevent normal operation, including flat tires, engine abnormalities, transmission failure, brake failure, steering loss, accidents, or incidents like fire or explosion—essentially any situation where the vehicle cannot operate normally or the safety of passengers is at risk—the vehicle is permitted to stop in the emergency lane.
