When a car is temporarily parked on the roadside, the hazard warning flashers should be turned on. If it is a temporary stop at night, the hazard warning flashers, clearance lights, and rear position lights should be activated. The hazard warning flashers, commonly referred to as "hazard lights" or "double flashers," are signal lights that alert other vehicles and pedestrians to the fact that the car is in a special situation. Clearance lights are the outermost lights at the front and rear of the vehicle. The front and rear position lights are also known as parking lights or marker lights. When temporarily parked on the roadside, the body of the car should not exceed the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge, and the distance between the car body and the right edge of the road or the sidewalk edge should ideally be less than 30 centimeters. The parking position should be more than 50 meters away from an intersection to avoid affecting the lane-changing of right-turning vehicles.
