Is it allowed for private cars to drive on the highway between 2 to 5 AM?
1 Answers
Private cars are not restricted from driving on the highway at night. The highway imposes restrictions on commercial passenger vehicles between 2 AM and 5 AM, specifically prohibiting vehicles with more than five seats during this period. According to the 'Technical Standards for Highway Engineering' by the Ministry of Transport of China, a highway is defined as 'a road that can accommodate an average annual daily traffic volume of more than 25,000 small passenger cars, exclusively designed for high-speed divided-lane travel, with fully controlled access.' 1. Definition: It refers to a road with more than four lanes, separated for two-way traffic, with fully controlled entrances and exits, and all intersections are grade-separated. 2. Additional information: When driving at high speed, do not get too close to the vehicle in front. Because the speed is high on the highway, the closer you follow, the greater the possibility of a rear-end collision. When driving on the highway, avoid frequent lane changes. During the journey, try not to drive side by side with other vehicles, do not drive in the overtaking lane for extended periods, and never overtake from the emergency stopping lane, as these are all highly dangerous behaviors.
