What lights should be turned on when driving at dusk?

When driving at dusk, you should turn on the low beam headlights. At night, low beam headlights are necessary, and turn signals must be used when turning. Urban roads are well-lit, so there is no need to use high beams. However, if there is a lack of lighting ahead, high beams should be turned on as they illuminate objects at a greater distance and height compared to low beams. Below are guidelines for using high beams: 1. Do not use high beams when meeting an oncoming vehicle within 150 meters on roads without central barriers or centerlines. 2. Do not use high beams when meeting non-motorized vehicles on narrow bridges or roads without central barriers or centerlines. 3. Do not use high beams when turning at intersections controlled by traffic signals. 4. Do not use high beams when driving in low visibility conditions such as fog, rain, snow, or dust, or when a following vehicle is close to the vehicle ahead at night. 5. When overtaking at night, alternate between high and low beams to alert the vehicle ahead. 6. Avoid using high beams in well-lit urban areas.
