Is it allowed to change tires on the highway?
1 Answers
Changing tires is prohibited on highways. Generally, if a tire fails, you should pull over to the emergency lane, turn on the hazard lights, place a warning sign 150-200 meters behind the vehicle, and contact the highway towing service. Below are precautions for highway driving: 1. Article 67 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: 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 on highways. The maximum speed limit indicated by highway speed signs must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour. 2. Article 68 of the Road Traffic Safety Law: When a motor vehicle breaks down on the highway, the procedures specified in Article 52 of this law should be followed. 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.
