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

[EzraMarie]

Highway emergency parking lanes can be used in the following situations: vehicle breakdown, traffic accidents, or sudden illness of the driver. The emergency parking lane refers to a temporary stopping area on highways and first-class roads, designed for vehicles that encounter sudden malfunctions or other urgent situations requiring immediate stopping. Emergency parking lanes are strictly for emergency use only and should not be occupied without valid reasons. When stopping on the highway emergency parking lane, it is essential to follow proper procedures: activate hazard lights, place a triangular warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle in the direction of oncoming traffic, and all passengers should move outside the guardrail if possible. Then call for help and wait for rescue.
