What lights should be turned on when temporarily parking a car?
1 Answers
During the day, no lights are required for temporary parking of a car. At night, temporary parking requires turning on the hazard warning flashers, clearance lights, and rear position lights. Hazard warning flashers, commonly referred to as emergency lights or hazards, are signal lights that alert other vehicles and pedestrians to pay attention to the special situation of the vehicle. Clearance lights are the outermost lights at the front and rear of the vehicle. Front and rear position lights, commonly known as parking lights or width markers, are also called side marker lights. Temporary parking refers to a brief stop on the right side of the road in the direction of traffic on a non-prohibited parking road surface, with the driver not leaving the vehicle. Regarding the temporary time concept, there is no specific duration defined; as long as the driver does not leave the vehicle during the brief stop, it is considered temporary parking.
