What are the penalties for stopping on a ramp?
1 Answers
Stopping on a highway ramp without emergency reasons is generally penalized with a 2-point deduction, which can be checked online after three working days. Policies may vary by region. Below are the specific details: 1. Non-emergency situations: If a vehicle stops on the emergency lane or ramp of a highway during normal operation, a 6-point deduction is applied. 2. Emergency situations: Even if caught on camera, you can appeal, and the penalty can usually be waived with sufficient justification. A ramp, also known as an approach, is an engineering term referring to a short section that provides access for vehicles to enter or exit main highways, elevated roads, bridges, or tunnels, connecting them to adjacent service roads or other main routes via overpasses/slip roads/approach roads, as well as collector-distributor roads. It is a key component of highway interchanges.
