How Many Rings Can a Motorcycle with a B License Enter?
2 Answers
Motorcycles with a B license can enter roads outside the third ring. Regulations on motorcycle restrictions in urban areas: During weekday morning and evening peak hours, from 7:00 to 9:00 and 17:00 to 20:00, motorcycles are prohibited from driving on the main roads, auxiliary roads, and roads within the fifth ring. From 9:00 to 17:00 on weekdays, motorcycles must comply with the city's tail number restriction policy and the restricted area. Legal basis for motorcycles entering urban areas: Traffic management departments of public security organs and their traffic police should promptly correct road traffic safety violations. They should impose penalties based on facts and relevant provisions of the law. For minor violations that do not affect road traffic, after pointing out the violation and giving an oral warning, the vehicle may be released.
I used to ride a motorcycle in Beijing with a B license plate, only to find out that vehicles with this type of plate are completely prohibited from entering within the Fourth Ring Road, including the main roads of the Fourth Ring. Once, I forgot this rule and rode in during the evening to make a delivery, ending up with a traffic ticket that deducted points and fined me—it was a huge loss. This restriction is mainly due to Beijing's traffic control policies, aimed at reducing the number of motorcycles to alleviate congestion and accidents, especially during rush hours. As a rider, I must remind everyone: check your map app before heading out to avoid restricted zones; if you frequently travel within the city, consider switching to a Jing A plate for more convenience, though it comes at a higher cost. In short, follow the rules and prioritize safety—don’t wait until you hit a wall like I did to regret it.
