Under what circumstances can you park on the highway emergency lane?

You can only make an emergency stop on the shoulder when encountering unsolvable problems such as vehicle breakdowns, including flat tires, brake failure, steering loss, accidents, or unexpected incidents like fires or explosions. If an emergency occurs and the vehicle needs to temporarily park on the emergency lane, first ensure the vehicle is parked within the white line of the emergency lane and as far away from the high-speed traffic lane as possible. Note: when choosing a parking spot on the emergency lane, try to avoid curves. After parking, turn on the hazard warning lights and place a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle. In low-visibility conditions such as fog, rain, or at night, increase the distance of the warning sign to over 200 meters, while turning on the side marker lights, tail lights, and rear fog lights. All occupants must exit the vehicle and move to a safe area outside the guardrail. If necessary, promptly call the highway emergency number to request assistance.
