Are Motorcycles Allowed on Fujian Highways?
1 Answers
According to Article 26 of Chapter IV (Traffic Safety Management) in the Fujian Expressway Regulations, motorcycles are not permitted on expressways in Fujian. Key considerations for urban motorcycle riding are as follows: Observe drivers' head movements and mirrors: A driver's head movements often precede turn signals or steering wheel actions. Monitoring these directly or through rearview mirrors helps predict their next move. Anticipate sudden braking or lane changes: Taxi drivers pose higher risks as they divert attention to spot passengers. Exercise extra caution when following taxis displaying "For Hire" signs. Mind vehicle blind spots: All vehicles have dangerous blind areas, particularly large vehicles like buses and concrete mixers with significantly limited visibility. Expressway driving precautions: Maintain consistent speed: After toll gates, use acceleration lanes to merge safely. Keep steady speed with adequate following distance (e.g., 100m gap at 100km/h). Stay in your lane: Avoid unnecessary lane changes, sudden braking, or prolonged use of passing lanes. Never overtake via emergency lanes. Prepare exits/merges 500m in advance. Execute decisive overtaking: Check rear traffic and passing lane conditions before overtaking. Use audible/visual signals when passing large vehicles, maintaining safe distance (50-100m) before returning. Nighttime vigilance: Use high beams when appropriate, watch for taillights, and avoid fatigue driving. Activate hazard lights during heavy fog. Adverse weather adaptation: Rain reduces visibility - halve speed, avoid puddles, double following distance, and refrain from sharp maneuvers. Emergency parking protocol: For breakdowns, signal early, park on shoulder/emergency lane, activate hazards, and place warning triangles 150m behind vehicle.
