How many ring roads are off-limits to Jing B motorcycles?
2 Answers
Jing B license plate motorcycles are prohibited from entering within the 4th Ring Road (excluding auxiliary roads). Wear helmets and protective gear: When riding a motorcycle, you must wear a helmet and professional riding gear, avoid speeding, and do not carry passengers illegally. Carry driver's license and vehicle registration: When riding a motorcycle, you must carry your motorcycle driver's license and vehicle registration. Traffic police on duty will check the driver's license and vehicle registration of motorcycle riders, and penalties will apply if these documents are not carried. Follow traffic rules: Motorcycles are motor vehicles, so when riding on the road, you must comply with motor vehicle traffic regulations to avoid violations.
Having ridden motorcycles in Beijing for over a decade, I know that vehicles with Jing B license plates are strictly prohibited from entering areas within the Fourth Ring Road, including the main roads—this is a rigid regulation in Beijing. When I first started riding, I didn't know the rules and accidentally ventured near the Second Ring Road, resulting in a 200-yuan fine and penalty points, which taught me a lesson. Nowadays, I use navigation apps to set up routes that avoid areas within the Fourth Ring Road to save trouble. If you need to enter the city center, it's best to switch to a Jing A license plate, but that requires spending a lot of money and enduring the difficult lottery wait. My advice to new riders is to stick to activities outside the Fifth Ring Road or use public transport for transfers—safety first. Beijing's traffic policies aim to ease congestion and control pollution. As an experienced rider, I understand this, but planning your route carefully is crucial.
