How to Handle Driving Against Directional Arrows?
1 Answers
Failure to drive in the designated lane may result in different penalties depending on the specific circumstances. Generally, the fine is 200 yuan, with a deduction of 2 to 3 points. Article 51 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: When motor vehicles pass through intersections controlled by traffic signals, they shall proceed according to the following provisions: At intersections with designated lanes, vehicles shall enter the lane corresponding to their intended direction of travel. Common violations of driving against directional markings include: 1. Failing to follow directional markings at intersections: This often occurs in waiting lanes before traffic lights, where many drivers intentionally or unintentionally proceed straight from a turning lane or turn from a straight lane. If this involves running a red light, two violations will occur: running a red light and failing to follow the directional lane, totaling 6 points and a fine of 400 yuan. 2. Making a U-turn or left turn where prohibited: On some roads where turns or U-turns are not allowed and no signs are posted, yellow prohibition markings may be painted on the lane to warn drivers that such maneuvers are not permitted. Making a U-turn or left turn in these areas will result in a deduction of 3 points and a fine of 100-200 yuan. Local regulations may vary, so refer to the specific traffic rules in your area. 3. Illegally entering a dedicated lane: "Dedicated lanes" include bus lanes, lanes for specific vehicles, and non-motorized vehicle lanes. Illegally entering such lanes constitutes "violating prohibition markings." The fine is 100-200 yuan, with a deduction of 3 points. Local regulations may vary, so refer to the specific traffic rules in your area.
