When temporarily parking on the roadside at night, the hazard warning flashers should be turned on. Additionally, when temporarily parking on a highway, a reflective warning sign should be placed 50 to 100 meters behind the vehicle. When a motor vehicle is temporarily parked at night, the hazard warning flashers, clearance lights, and tail lights should be turned on. According to Article 62 of the "Road Traffic Management Regulations," when a vehicle is temporarily parked at a location other than a parking lot, the following rules must be observed: the vehicle must stop on the right side of the road in the direction of traffic, the driver must not leave the vehicle, and if traffic is obstructed, the vehicle must be moved away promptly; before the vehicle comes to a complete stop, doors must not be opened, and passengers must not board or alight, and opening doors must not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians; parking is not allowed in sections with pedestrian guardrails (green barriers), crosswalks, construction zones (except for construction vehicles), or opposite obstacles; parking is not allowed at intersections, railway crossings, curves, narrow roads, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, or within 20 meters of such locations; parking is not allowed at bus stops, tram stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or in front of fire stations, or within 30 meters of such locations, except for vehicles using these facilities; large buses and trams, except under special circumstances, must not stop at locations other than designated stops; motor vehicles must turn on clearance lights and tail lights at night or during windy, rainy, snowy, or foggy conditions.
