Is there a concept of wrong-way driving in non-motorized vehicle lanes?

There is indeed a concept of wrong-way driving in non-motorized vehicle lanes. Electric vehicles should proceed straight after ensuring safety when traveling in non-motorized vehicle lanes. Additional information is as follows: 1. When riding bicycles, electric bicycles, or tricycles across motor vehicle lanes on road sections, riders should dismount and push their vehicles. If there are pedestrian crossings or pedestrian crossing facilities, they should use them to cross. In the absence of pedestrian crossings, crossing facilities, or when it's inconvenient to use such facilities, they should cross only after ensuring safety. 2. Non-motorized vehicles that cannot travel in their designated lanes due to obstruction may temporarily use adjacent motor vehicle lanes in the affected sections, but must promptly return to the non-motorized vehicle lane after passing the obstructed area. Motor vehicles encountering such situations should slow down and yield.
Recently, I often ride my bike to and from work, and I've noticed that riding against the traffic on the non-motorized vehicle lane is quite common, especially during rush hours. Many people ride in the wrong direction to save time or take a shortcut, but it's very dangerous because non-motorized lanes are usually designed for one-way traffic. Riders going the wrong way can easily collide head-on with normal riders, leading to scratches or more serious accidents. Once, I was almost hit by an electric bike going the wrong way, which scared me. The reasons include poor road planning, weak safety awareness, or simply seeking convenience. Suggestions for improvement include adding clear directional signs, installing surveillance cameras at intersections, or enhancing education and awareness through community activities to promote the habit of riding in the correct direction. Overall, those who ride against traffic may face fines or accident liability, causing trouble for themselves and others. Therefore, I always follow the rules when riding and remind my friends not to take risks.
