When driving on the highway, if you must stop due to an unexpected situation like a breakdown or running out of fuel, you must pull over to the shoulder; it is not permitted to stop on the lanes. Procedures for handling unexpected stops by logistics company vehicles on the highway should be followed, but stopping on the shoulder is not safe either. Especially at night, the tail lights of the vehicle may be mistaken by following cars for the tail lights of a moving vehicle, leading to tailgating and potentially causing rear-end collisions. Therefore, unless it's a special situation like a breakdown, do not stop on the shoulder to rest or admire the scenery to avoid accidents.



When it's necessary to stop on the shoulder, safety precautions should be taken. This includes placing a warning sign for a disabled vehicle 100 meters behind the car, and all occupants should exit the vehicle and take shelter behind the roadside guardrail. If it's nighttime, the vehicle's signal lights (indicator lights, taillights) must also be turned on. While parking to address the issue, someone should be responsible for observing safety from behind the vehicle, ready to sound an alarm in case of danger. Minor issues can usually be resolved independently, but for complex problems, assistance should be sought by using emergency phones and other communication facilities. Vehicle repairs should not be conducted on the shoulder for extended periods, and it is strictly prohibited to intercept vehicles in motion on the road.
