How long does it take to receive penalty information for driving over diversion lines?
1 Answers
Vehicle owners will receive penalty information within two to three days after driving over diversion lines. After collecting, organizing, and reviewing the data, the traffic police team will input the data and upload it online within one week. Driving over diversion lines will result in a penalty of 3 demerit points and a fine. According to Article 24 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, the traffic management department of public security authorities implements a cumulative demerit point system for motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations, in addition to imposing administrative penalties. Diversion lines are road markings used to indicate that vehicles must drive on the designated road and must not drive over or cross the lines. Diversion lines are usually white grid lines seen on roads, mainly consisting of white V-shaped lines or diagonal lines set according to the terrain. They indicate that vehicles must follow the prescribed route and must not drive over or cross the lines. Guidance lines are mainly used for special locations such as overly wide, irregular, or complex intersections, interchanges, and ramp passages. A diversion line is one or several white V-shaped or diagonal lines set according to the intersection terrain, indicating that vehicles must follow the prescribed route, are prohibited from driving over or crossing the lines, and must not stop.
