Will I be fined for stopping on the highway emergency lane for less than a minute?

[LouisFitz]

Stopping on the highway emergency lane will be penalized regardless of the duration. Unless you can provide sufficient justification that you entered the emergency lane due to an urgent situation, you will be fined. Only when a vehicle breaks down and can no longer continue driving is it permissible to stop on the emergency lane and await assistance. The following are prohibited behaviors when driving on highways: 1. Reversing, driving in the opposite direction, making U-turns across the central divider, or stopping within the lane. 2. Overtaking on ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes. 3. Riding or straddling the lane dividing line or driving on the shoulder. 4. Driving or stopping on the emergency lane under non-emergency circumstances. 5. Test driving or learning to drive a motor vehicle.
