1 Answers
During highway traffic jams, it is not allowed to drive in the emergency lane. Doing so will result in penalties, including a deduction of 6 points from the driver's license. Emergency Lane: The emergency lane on a highway refers to the section adjacent to the right-hand traffic lane, including the hard shoulder, with a width of at least 3 meters and an effective length of 30 meters or more, designed to accommodate vehicle stops. In emergency situations, vehicles may drive or park in the emergency lane. Precautions for the Emergency Lane: 1. In the event of traffic congestion ahead, it is prohibited to stop or queue in the emergency parking zone. 2. Vehicle repairs are strictly forbidden on highway bridges crossing rivers. If a vehicle breaks down and requires stopping for troubleshooting, the driver must immediately activate the hazard warning lights and move the vehicle to a location where it does not obstruct traffic. Failure to use the appropriate lights and set up warning signs when the vehicle is difficult to move after a breakdown or accident may result in fines for the driver.
