If you observe a grid of white and red markings (checkerboard) on the road, what should you do?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The red and white checkerboard indicates the start of an emergency braking zone. This is a space equipped (usually with a gravel bed) to stop vehicles that have experienced brake failure, common on steep downhill slopes. Due to its vital safety function, it is strictly prohibited to stop, park, or use this zone for any purpose other than a genuine emergency. Occupying this space could prevent a vehicle without brakes from stopping, causing a serious accident.
