How Many Points Are Deducted for Driving Against Traffic on a One-Way Street?

[OAngelo]

Driving against traffic on a one-way street results in a deduction of three points. One-way streets are designated for vehicles to travel in only one direction, and driving in the opposite direction is prohibited. One-way street signs include left one-way, right one-way, and straight one-way. Instances of motor vehicles driving against traffic: On roads with solid centerlines, motor vehicles must not cross into the opposite lane. This applies to roads with double solid lines or single solid lines, where crossing is prohibited under any circumstances. On roads with dashed centerlines, overtaking is allowed if it can be done safely. On roads marked with one-way signs, any motor vehicle entering in the opposite direction is considered to be driving against traffic. Regarding point deductions for driving against traffic, according to the "Scoring Standards for Road Traffic Safety Violations," motor vehicle drivers committing any of the following violations will be penalized with a 3-point deduction: 1. Driving a passenger vehicle (excluding buses) or school bus with more passengers than the approved capacity, but less than 20% over the limit. 2. Driving medium-sized or larger passenger or cargo vehicles, or hazardous material transport vehicles on roads other than highways or urban expressways, or driving other motor vehicles at speeds exceeding the limit by less than 20%. 3. Driving a truck with cargo exceeding the approved weight by less than 30%. 4. Driving a motor vehicle on a highway below the minimum speed limit. 5. Driving a motor vehicle prohibited from entering a highway onto a highway. 6. Driving a motor vehicle on a highway or urban expressway without using the designated lane. 7. Driving a motor vehicle through a crosswalk without slowing down, stopping, or yielding to pedestrians as required. 8. Driving a motor vehicle in violation of prohibitory signs or markings. 9. Driving a motor vehicle without properly overtaking or yielding, or driving against traffic.
