Can Motorcycles Use National Highways?
2 Answers
Motorcycles can use national highways. Except for expressways that restrict motorcycle traffic (those that do not restrict can also be used), motorcycles can travel on any accessible roads. It is important to first check which national highways are available from the departure point or the nearest national highway, including the names of the stations along the route. Below are relevant introductions: Introduction 1: On roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, the left lane is the fast lane, and the right lane is the slow lane. Introduction 2: Motor vehicles traveling in the fast lane should drive at the speed specified for the fast lane. If they cannot reach the specified speed, they should drive in the slow lane. Introduction 3: Motorcycles should travel in the rightmost lane. Extended Information Classification of Motorcycles Different countries have different methods for classifying motorcycles.
This is a question many people ask, and I've been riding motorcycles for ten years myself, so riding on national highways is no problem. According to the Road Traffic Law, motorcycles are classified as motor vehicles and are naturally allowed on national highways. However, remember that certain sections of some national highways may explicitly prohibit motorcycles due to frequent accidents or road design issues. In such cases, never force your way through. I've ridden multiple times on the 104 National Highway in Zhejiang, where the road conditions are good and the scenery is beautiful. However, national highways have many large trucks and complex road conditions, so always wear a helmet, keep your speed within the limit, and maintain a safe distance. Additionally, note that some national highway toll stations are free for motorcycles, but it's safer to check the signs in advance.
