Due to the frequent incidents and irresponsible behavior of traffic participants on highways - when using the stop lane, PE “Roads of Serbia” in order to increase traffic safety draws special attention to the following:
"DO NOT DRIVE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE, DO NOT STOP LIFE"
Do not drive in the emergency lane and release the emergency lane for the vehicles under rotation.
Only the following vehicles can go through the emergency lane:
- The ambulance
- Police
- Fire-brigade vehicles
- Road maintenance vehicles
- Escorted vehicles
"DO NOT BLOCK THE EMERGENCY LINE, DO NOT STOP LIFE"
Do not stop and do not block the emergency lane because the emergency lane is used only to park the vehicle due to malfunction or sudden incapacity of the driver.
If it happens that the vehicle has to stop in the emergency lane due to a malfunction of the vehicle or the sudden inability of the driver to drive the vehicle, the driver is obliged to:
- Turn on all turn signals
- He wears a reflective vest
- Mark the vehicle with a safety triangle at a distance of at least 100 m
- From a safe place, take all necessary measures to remove the vehicle from the road as soon as possible
We especially appeal to truck drivers, bus drivers who receive passengers, drivers of passenger vehicles who stop illegally in the stop lane to fulfill various needs, to especially respect the regulations, bearing in mind the large number of traffic accidents in the emergency lane.
Guided by the thesis that accidents on the roads can be prevented, PE “Roads of Serbia” systematically works to raise the level of awareness about the problems of traffic accidents and draws the public's attention to the importance and possibilities of improving the level of traffic safety, as well as reducing the level of traffic accidents through the education of all traffic participants.
Respect the posted traffic signs, drive fresh, take a break every two hours, save your life and the lives of other road users!
