Can Scooters Go on the Highway?

[ErinMarie]

According to Article 67 of China's Road Traffic Safety Law, pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, tractors, wheeled special-purpose motor vehicles, articulated buses, full trailers, and other motor vehicles with a maximum design speed of less than 70 km/h are not allowed to enter the highway. This means that motorcycles with speeds exceeding 70 km/h can go on the highway! However, whether they can actually go on the highway also depends on local traffic regulations. For example, in some areas of Sichuan, motorcycles are prohibited from entering the highway, and if caught, the penalty is a 3-point deduction and a fine of 100 RMB. If unsure, check at the toll booth before entering the highway to make a decision!
