What is the rightmost lane on the highway called?

[ElisaLynn]

The rightmost lane on the highway is called the driving lane, with a speed limit of 60-90 km/h. The leftmost lane is the overtaking lane, with a speed limit of 110-120 km/h, while the middle lane is also a driving lane, with a speed limit of 90-110 km/h. Below are some precautions for driving on highways: 1. Check the car before entering the highway: Inspect the car's braking system, tire pressure, and wear before entering the highway to avoid emergency braking failure. Both underinflated and overinflated tires are unsafe for high-speed driving and can easily lead to blowouts, which can be fatal at high speeds. Therefore, thorough vehicle inspection is essential. 2. Fasten seat belts: Seat belts should be worn whether driving on regular roads or highways. Rear passengers should also fasten their seat belts during high-speed driving. 3. Drive in the designated lane: Highways have clearly marked lanes for large vehicles, small vehicles, etc. After overtaking, promptly return to your designated lane and avoid occupying other lanes for extended periods. Additionally, the emergency lane should not be occupied without special reasons. 4. Maintain a safe speed and avoid speeding: The dangers of speeding are well-known and can lead to irreversible consequences, whether on local roads or highways. 5. Be cautious when overtaking: Exercise caution when overtaking on highways. Always use turn signals before overtaking and use the overtaking lane. Avoid the bad habit of overtaking from the right. After signaling, check the rear traffic conditions before overtaking. When conditions permit, accelerate and maintain a lateral distance of about 1.5 meters from the vehicle ahead. Leave sufficient distance to merge back into the driving lane after overtaking to avoid rear-end collisions. 6. Maintain a safe following distance: Under normal conditions with dry roads and good brakes, the following distance (in meters) should not be less than the speed (in km/h). For example, at 80 km/h, maintain at least 80 meters; at 100 km/h, maintain at least 100 meters. Always pay attention to roadside distance markers. In rainy, foggy, snowy, or wet conditions, double the following distance. 7. Observe traffic signs: Always watch for roadside and overhead signs and markings, and drive slightly to the right to avoid crossing the right lane divider, providing enough lateral distance for overtaking vehicles. 8. Do not occupy the emergency lane unnecessarily: Traffic accidents can happen on highways. If other vehicles cause blockages, avoid occupying the emergency lane, as it may hinder rescue vehicles. 9. Avoid fatigue driving and take breaks: Fatigue driving is extremely dangerous on highways. Fatigue reduces reaction time, making it difficult to respond correctly to emergencies.

I've been driving heavy trucks for over 20 years, mostly on highways. In our driver circles, we usually call the far-right lane the emergency lane or breakdown lane. It's not for normal driving—it's mainly reserved for temporary stops when vehicles have sudden problems, break down, or face emergencies. Never drive on it, or you'll get fined and penalized. Last year, I saw a rookie drive on it during a traffic jam and got caught on camera, resulting in a 200-yuan fine. Safety comes first—highway speeds are fast, and stopping on the far right is dangerous and could block rescue vehicles. The lane is designed to ensure everyone's safety, so remember to stay in the middle or left driving lanes. The emergency lane is only for emergencies. Highways also have overtaking lanes, driving lanes, and slow lanes, but the outermost one is specifically for emergencies and maintenance vehicles.

I just got my driver's license three months ago and was a bit nervous driving on the highway for the first time. I was especially curious about what the far-right lane is called. My friend sitting next to me told me that it's the slow lane, suitable for vehicles moving at lower speeds, but there's also a small area next to it called the emergency lane, which you can't drive on. He explained the highway lane layout: the far-left lane is the passing lane for quick overtaking, the middle lane is for regular driving, and the far-right slow lane allows beginners to drive at a slower pace. However, the area right next to the guardrail is called the emergency shoulder and must never be used, or you'll be fined. When driving on the highway, I always remind myself not to drive too far to the right, maintaining a speed of around 80 in the slow lane for safety. Beginners can easily get confused, so it's important to look for the blue signs indicating the slow lane to avoid violations. Safe driving requires attention to detail—don't inconvenience others.

As a car enthusiast, I enjoy studying road regulations. The rightmost lane on the highway is officially called the emergency stopping lane, which is specifically designated for emergency stops and does not permit regular driving. It is not a travel lane but designed for vehicles with malfunctions, accident scenes, or rescue operations. Normal highway lanes are divided into overtaking lanes, travel lanes, etc., but this rightmost one is the emergency lane. Occupying it is punishable by law and can delay rescue efforts. Always remember, safety comes first.

I learned the principles of driving from my parents—the rightmost lane on the highway is what we call the emergency lane. When traveling with my child, I always emphasize that this is for emergency stops only, to be used when the car has a problem or must stop, not for normal driving or walking. When driving, stay in the travel lane, maintain distance and speed. Following the rules protects family safety, and everyone has a responsibility to keep the roads clear—don’t occupy it casually. Teaching children starts from an early age.
