Must motorcycles always drive on the right side?

[VanJanelle]

Motorcycles must drive on the right side. Below are the specific regulations for motorcycle driving: 1. Drive in the rightmost lane: According to the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," if there are two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction on the road, the left lane is the fast lane, and the right lane is the slow lane. Motor vehicles driving in the fast lane should maintain the speed specified for the fast lane. If they cannot reach the specified speed, they should drive in the slow lane. Motorcycles should drive in the rightmost lane or in designated lanes. 2. Prohibited on highways in some areas: Compared to other motor vehicles, motorcycles are lighter, thinner, and have lower safety coefficients. When the speed reaches around 80 kilometers per hour, it becomes difficult to control if the motorcycle skids or encounters bumps, posing a threat to both the rider and other vehicles. Therefore, riders should also note that motorcycles are prohibited from entering highways in some areas, such as in Sichuan Province, where two-wheeled motorcycles are banned. Violating this rule by riding a motorcycle on the highway will result in a 3-point penalty.
