Using hazard lights on the emergency lane will result in penalty points. Temporary parking is not allowed on the highway emergency lane unless the vehicle has a breakdown. In such cases, temporary parking is permitted, but the hazard warning lights must be turned on immediately after stopping. Additionally, a warning sign must be placed 150 meters behind the vehicle to alert following vehicles and prevent rear-end collisions. Main functions of the emergency lane: The emergency lane is specifically designated for vehicles handling emergency situations, such as engineering rescue, firefighting, medical aid, or police officers performing urgent official duties. It is particularly important to note that any civilian vehicles are prohibited from entering or parking on the emergency lane for any reason. Activating hazard warning lights: Do not park on the emergency lane unless necessary. If encountering a breakdown, the hazard warning lights must be turned on when parking, and a warning sign should be placed 150 meters behind the vehicle. If needed, tail lights, rear fog lights, etc., should also be activated, as this ensures the safest conditions when driving on the emergency lane.
