That's called parking lights. All European cars are designed with a parking light function, because European laws require that if a car is parked on a street at night, the front and rear lights on the street side must be on constantly while the car is parked.
Your left side should be working that way too, though.
Note that the hazard light circuit is a
separate circuit from the turn signals. You should check all the relevant fuses at the fuse panel to make sure they're good, and then also use the fuse panel diagram to check that all the wiring is correct on both the power side (input - top of the panel) and the load side (output - bottom of the panel).
With turn signals activated and flashing too fast, and with a bulb removed, use a multimeter to measure the voltage going to the socket. If the voltage is too low, due to unwanted resistance in the circuit as a result of corrosion or loose connections, the relay may not see enough of a load (similar to having a burned out bulb) and cause the fast action.
