Can Motorcycles Go on Highways in 2021?
2 Answers
In 2021, whether motorcycles can go on highways depends on local regulations, as traffic conditions vary across different provinces and cities in China, requiring case-by-case analysis. Provinces that explicitly prohibit motorcycles on highways include: Zhejiang, Guangxi, Shandong, Jiangsu, Henan, Yunnan, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia, Hainan, and others. Motorcycle Classification: Motorcycles are two or three-wheeled vehicles driven by gasoline engines and steered by handlebars to control the front wheel. They are lightweight, agile, fast, and widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, etc., making them a versatile, fast, economical, and comfortable mode of transportation. Disc Brake Adjustment: Generally, disc brakes do not require gap adjustment, as they are not designed with mechanisms for adjusting the gap. Therefore, if a disc brake rubs against the brake disc, it usually indicates component damage, such as excessive wear of the brake pads.
As a seasoned motorcycle rider, I can confirm that in 2021, motorcycles are indeed allowed on highways, but they must comply with a long list of rules! The speed must not exceed 80 kilometers per hour, and the engine displacement must be at least 125cc, otherwise you'll be stopped. I've personally seen riders getting fined for not wearing helmets—it's no trivial matter. Most importantly, not all highway sections permit motorcycles; for instance, some tunnels or bridges prohibit access, so you need to check road signs in advance. Safety is also crucial—strong wind resistance can easily cause loss of control, so I recommend maintaining a safe distance and wearing protective gear. Overall, the regulations haven't changed much, but developing a habit of checking local traffic bureau announcements can save a lot of trouble.
