A netizen posted on the Internet that during the National Day holiday, he drove south in the middle of the night to travel to Xiaoliuqiu. Due to fatigue, he stopped at a rest stop on the national highway to take a nap. Unexpectedly, he woke up at dawn and found a 1,200 yuan fine on the windshield. Only then did we learn that parking at rest stops on national highways cannot exceed 4 hours; Lin Huacan, section chief of the Central District Maintenance Engineering Branch of the Expressway Bureau, said that according to the traffic control regulations on expressways and expressways, parking for more than 4 hours will result in a fine and even towing and relocation.
Lin Huacan said that according to Article 25 of the traffic control regulations on expressways and expressways, parking in service areas and rest stops is limited to four hours. If it exceeds four hours, security personnel will go to find out. In addition to posting a care sheet, they will remind the public and determine whether there are any abnormalities. When parking is seriously overtime, the National Highway Police Brigade will be called to report, with a fine of 600-1,200 yuan, and even towing and moving.
Lin Huacan pointed out that the central district national highway service area has a "parking management system" that uses AI CCTV or geomagnetic detection to issue warning information to vehicles that park for extended periods of time and illegally occupy special parking spaces. In addition, there are fewer vehicles in the late-night service area, and security personnel will go to the parking lot from time to time to determine whether the vehicle has been parked for a long time through manual identification. Finally, the time record of placing the care ticket is provided to the highway police brigade as a basis for reporting.
In addition, on the 23rd of last month, an old woman drove alone into the Dongshan service area on National Highway 3 and pitched a tent next to the parking lot for the night.

Firefighters opened the tent and found that the woman was obviously dead.
Lin Huacan pointed out that although the Dongshan service area incident was an isolated case, the High Commissioner held a review meeting immediately after the incident and required operators to implement inspection systems, strengthen response capabilities and reporting systems, and make good use of the parking management systems of each service area to avoid similar incidents from happening again.
