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

Vehicles can stop in case of malfunctions or accidents, such as flat tires, steering failure, brake failure, etc., where continued driving would seriously endanger the safety of oneself and other vehicles. Additionally, if the driver feels unwell and is unable to continue driving, stopping is also necessary. However, after stopping, the hazard warning lights must be turned on immediately, and a warning sign should be set up promptly. Place a warning triangle 150 meters behind the vehicle to alert following vehicles and prevent rear-end collisions. In the event of a traffic accident on the highway, if the vehicle can be moved, it should be moved to the emergency lane for parking. Warning signs must be set up immediately, and the hazard warning lights should be turned on. For vehicles that cannot be moved, warning signs should still be set up promptly, and the police should be notified to await traffic police assistance. According to relevant traffic regulations, if a vehicle stops or drives on the highway emergency lane without a legitimate reason, it will be penalized with a 6-point deduction. Unauthorized use of the emergency lane may prevent vehicles that genuinely need it from accessing it. Therefore, drivers on highways should avoid using the emergency lane unnecessarily and refrain from crossing the lane markings.
