The required duty station lasts for 6 hours. Relevant information about the driver's license test is as follows: Introduction: The driver's test is a qualification examination organized by the Vehicle Office of the Public Security Bureau. Only by passing the driver's test can one obtain a driver's license and legally operate motor vehicles. Content: The test for motor vehicle drivers is divided into the subject of road traffic safety laws, regulations, and related knowledge (also known as the "theoretical test", referred to as "Subject One"), the subject of field driving skills (commonly known as "pole test", referred to as "Subject Two"), and the subject of road driving skills and safe civilized driving knowledge (commonly known as "road test", referred to as "Subject Three"). The test content and passing standards are unified nationwide, with corresponding test items specified according to different types of vehicles eligible for driving.

Just accompanied my cousin to do traffic duty a couple of days ago, so I'm quite familiar with this. Generally, driving schools will schedule you for two hours of duty, but the actual implementation is quite flexible. In my case, I did one hour during morning rush hour and made up another hour during evening rush hour, completing the two hours in total. You need to understand that these two hours refer to the required duty duration, not pure standing time – you can take turns to drink water or rest, with the key being the experience. The main tasks involve assisting traffic police in maintaining order for non-motorized vehicles at intersections, reminding pedestrians not to jaywalk, and familiarizing yourself with traffic rules. Remember to wear the reflective vest provided by the driving school, bring a bottle of water and a small stool (many experienced students secretly bring foldable chairs), and if you're on duty in the morning, bring a hat for sun protection. After completing the duty, don't forget to get the on-duty traffic police to sign and stamp your receipt – this document is essential for taking the third driving test.

As a seasoned driver who got my license last year, I find traffic duty quite meaningful. The duration varies slightly by region, but generally ranges from 1.5 to 2 hours. Our driving school schedules it uniformly from 7:30 to 9:00 on Saturday mornings, perfectly covering the morning rush hour. The actual intensity isn't high - working in teams of three with rotating shifts, the total standing time accumulates to about forty minutes. The key is observational learning: watching how traffic police prioritize special vehicles or handle food delivery riders going the wrong way. These practical insights are far more vivid than theoretical driving test knowledge. I recommend downloading the local traffic police app beforehand to check duty locations - choosing a shaded intersection makes it much easier. Remember to submit your duty card to the instructor afterwards, as they'll upload it to the system for verification.

The key to the traffic duty in Subject 3 is accumulating on-road experience. The time requirement isn't strict at all—my instructor said just complete 90 minutes. The main point is to fully experience a traffic peak period, whether it's morning or evening shift. Back then, I was assigned duty near a school gate and held a yield sign for half an hour during dismissal. Honestly, the work was quite easy, mostly about observation: how buses pull over without blocking lanes, how parents do quick stop-and-go when picking up kids. Remember to wear flat shoes and bring the duty certificate issued by the driving school. After finishing, ask the traffic officer for e-signature—many places now just require scanning a QR code to wrap up.

Fresh graduates from traffic duty sharing their experiences. The actual duty time is shorter than you'd expect—our driving school divides it into three sessions: 40 minutes during morning rush hour, 30 minutes at noon, and 50 minutes during evening rush hour. Hands-on practice reveals many useful details: for example, when left-turn lanes are congested during peak hours, traffic police will let three waves of straight-going vehicles pass first; how to use hand signals more visibly in rainy or foggy weather. The key is to proactively communicate with on-duty officers—they'll teach you to identify hazardous intersection features, which are very helpful for later road tests. Bring sunscreen and a water bottle, as many duty posts now have mobile booths for breaks. Keep the duty receipt safe—it's mandatory for the third exam checkpoint.

As a driving school assistant instructor, I found that students are most concerned about their duty hours. In fact, the Traffic 12123 regulation requires at least 120 minutes, but allows for fragmented accumulation. We adopt a point system: guiding pedestrians earns 10 points per time, assisting school bus escorts earns 20 points per time. Reaching 200 points means meeting the requirement, and fast learners can accumulate enough by volunteering for two hours in the rain. The most recommended duty post is at the hospital entrance, where you can learn the rules for yielding to ambulances and often receive water from volunteers. Remember to wear a reflective vest and don’t slack off, as everything is now automatically timed by smart recorders. When finished, have the police recorder capture your duty scene, and the system will automatically sync it to your driving test records.
