Can You Go Straight in a Right-Turn Lane When the Straight Light is Green?
1 Answers
When the straight light is green, you cannot go straight in a right-turn lane. Below are relevant regulations regarding driving at traffic signals: 1. Relevant regulations: Article 51 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates that when motor vehicles pass through intersections controlled by traffic signals, they shall proceed as follows: (1) At intersections with designated lanes, enter the corresponding lane based on the intended direction of travel. (2) When preparing to enter a roundabout, yield to motor vehicles already inside the intersection. (3) When turning left, turn from the left side of the intersection center point. Turn signals must be activated during turns, and low beams must be used when driving at night. 2. Other regulations: Article 44 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states that 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. Motor vehicles driving in the fast lane shall maintain the speed specified for that lane. If they cannot reach the specified speed, they must move to the slow lane. Motorcycles must drive in the far-right lane. If traffic signs indicate speed limits, drivers must adhere to the posted speeds. Vehicles in the slow lane may temporarily use the fast lane to overtake the vehicle in front.
