Under the new rule, drivers will be required to slow down when passing stationary emergency vehicles, tow trucks and breakdown assistance vehicles displaying flashing lights.
Motorists will have to slow down to 40km/h when travelling on roads with a speed limit of 80km/h or less. At the same time,travelling on a multi-lane road must change lanes to keep the lane next to the stationary vehicle vacant if it is safe to do so.
