How to Report for Vehicle Traffic Restrictions?
2 Answers
It depends on which city you live in. Taking Shenzhen as an example, log in to the Shenzhen Traffic Police Bureau website and enter the "Self-Service Declaration for Non-Shenzhen Licensed Passenger Vehicles Entering Shenzhen" portal. You can apply in advance for a monthly "exemption" to drive during restricted hours and on restricted roads. Fill in the vehicle identification number, owner's name, and phone number to apply. Vehicles used for weddings or funerals can be reviewed and filed through the official WeChat public account two working days in advance. Provide the applicant's ID card, driver's license, vehicle license, and related materials. If filing on the day of the wedding or funeral for the time and route of travel, you can call '122' to report and explain the situation. If found violating the traffic restrictions but verified by the traffic police department as genuine, no penalty will be imposed. However, other places may have different regulations. Specific rules should be determined based on local conditions.
When there's a traffic restriction, commuting to work becomes troublesome for me, so I've figured out how to apply for an exemption. The local traffic authority has an app like 'Traffic Management 12123'. After downloading and registering, bind your license plate. Click the exemption application function, enter the restricted date, and provide a reason such as essential work commuting, then submit for review—it usually gets approved within a day. If you don’t have a phone, you can bring your ID card and vehicle license to the traffic police station to fill out a form. Last time, I forgot to apply and got a ticket, so I learned my lesson and now handle it in advance. Remember to provide a genuine reason—false claims can lead to heavier penalties. Rules vary by city, so check the local official website. It’s advisable to complete the application three days before the restriction to ensure smooth travel and avoid risks. On restricted days, it’s really not worth driving and risking a fine of several hundred yuan—public transport is a more economical choice.
