Can vehicles be inspected at highway service areas?
1 Answers
Highway service areas are not locations where vehicle inspections are conducted, as traffic police do not perform roadside checks on highways. Additional information regarding vehicle inspections on highways is as follows: Inspections at toll stations: Traffic police do not conduct vehicle inspections on highways. However, they may set up inspection stations at toll booths or ramp intersections; Road patrols: Highway patrol officers can conduct road patrols or establish inspection stations at highway entrances/exits and toll booths; Prohibition of vehicle interception on highways: Article 69 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates: No organization or individual may intercept or inspect moving vehicles on highways, except for public security officers performing urgent official duties in accordance with the law; High-speed risks: On highways, sudden braking due to high speeds can cause traffic accidents. Therefore, traffic police cannot conduct vehicle inspections on highways; Emergency duties: If vehicles must be intercepted and inspected on highways due to "emergency duties," inspection stations should be set up at toll booths or ramp intersections, with prominent temporary inspection signs displayed in advance to alert drivers to slow down and prevent accidents.
