Must Motorcycles Drive on the Right Side?
1 Answers
Motorcycles must drive on the right side when traveling on motor vehicle lanes. If there is a dedicated motorcycle lane, they should drive within that lane. If there is a non-motor vehicle lane on the far right side of the road, motorcycles are not allowed to use it and must drive on the far right side of the motor vehicle lane. Additionally, motorcycles must not cross the road arbitrarily. If the road ahead is obstructed, they are allowed to temporarily use another lane but must return to the far right lane immediately after passing. Regulations on motorcycles driving on the right side: Article 44 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motorcycles should drive in the far right lane. If there are traffic signs indicating the speed limit, they must drive according to the indicated speed. On roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, changing lanes must not affect the normal driving of motor vehicles in the relevant lanes. Article 55: The rear seat of a motorcycle must not carry children under 12 years old, and light motorcycles are not allowed to carry passengers. Article 77: Passengers on two-wheeled motorcycles must sit facing forward. Article 78: Motorcycles on highways must not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. Article 51 of the "Road Traffic Law": When driving a motor vehicle, the driver and passengers must use seat belts as required, and motorcycle drivers and passengers must wear safety helmets as required. Article 90: Motor vehicle drivers who violate road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road traffic rules will be given a warning or fined between 20 and 200 yuan. If there are other provisions in this law, penalties will be imposed according to those provisions.
