What is the behavior of overtaking on the emergency lane of a highway?
1 Answers
Overtaking on the emergency lane of a highway is considered dangerous driving and is a violation of traffic laws. Emergency Lane: The emergency lane is primarily marked on both sides of urban ring roads, expressways, and highways, specifically designated for emergency vehicles such as engineering rescue, firefighting, medical ambulances, or police officers performing urgent official duties. Other motor vehicles involved in traffic accidents or experiencing malfunctions that require stopping to await rescue may temporarily park in the emergency lane. Dangers of Overtaking on the Emergency Lane: Using the emergency lane for overtaking on highways is extremely hazardous. For example, if a broken-down vehicle is parked in the emergency lane awaiting rescue while other drivers speed through the same lane, the inability to brake in time due to excessive speed can easily lead to accidents.
