What Lights to Use When Parking on the Roadside at Night?

[DelEliza]

When parking on the roadside at night, you should turn on the hazard warning lights (also known as "flashers"). Here are the details: 1. Introduction: The hazard warning lights, commonly referred to as "flashers," are signal lights designed to alert other vehicles and pedestrians that your car is experiencing a special situation. Unlike other light switches, which are often integrated, the hazard light switch is unique—it stands alone and is marked with a prominent red triangle. Typically, the hazard light switch is located on the right side of the steering wheel on the center console, though some models may place it below the center console. When pressed, both indicator lights flash simultaneously. 2. Usage of Hazard Warning Lights: On the road, hazard lights are used in foggy conditions. The need to use them depends on the severity of the fog. If visibility is not significantly impaired and driving at the prescribed speed is still safe, hazard lights are unnecessary. However, in heavy fog with very low visibility, hazard lights must be turned on. On highways, hazard lights should be used in conditions such as fog, rain, snow, dust storms, or hail when visibility drops below 100 meters.
