It is allowed to stop and drop off passengers by the roadside. Below are specific details regarding roadside parking: 1. Temporary parking: Temporary parking refers to stopping briefly without leaving the vehicle or for unloading goods or dropping off passengers, then immediately leaving. Temporary parking on the road must not obstruct the passage of other vehicles and pedestrians. Article 63 of the Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law specifies that parking is prohibited in areas with no-parking signs or markings, sections with isolation facilities between motor vehicle lanes and non-motor vehicle lanes or sidewalks, crosswalks, construction zones, intersections, railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, bridges, steep slopes, etc. When temporarily parking by the roadside, vehicles must stay close to the right side of the road, and the driver must not leave the vehicle. If a vehicle is parked or temporarily stopped in violation of regulations, the on-duty traffic police may point out the violation and order the driver to leave immediately. If the driver is not present or refuses to leave immediately, in addition to a fine, the illegally parked vehicle may be towed. 2. Parking: Parking refers to leaving the vehicle unattended. Article 56 of the Road Traffic Safety Law states that motor vehicles should be parked in designated areas, and parking on sidewalks is prohibited.
