What are the penalties for not driving within the motor vehicle lane?
1 Answers
Not driving within the motor vehicle lane may result in a warning or a fine. According to China's "Road Traffic Safety Law," where special lanes are designated on the road, only specified vehicles are allowed to travel within these special lanes, and other vehicles must not enter them. Motor vehicle drivers who violate the road traffic safety laws and regulations regarding road usage will be subject to a warning or a fine. If the line between the motor vehicle lane and the non-motor vehicle lane is dashed, it indicates that vehicles can cross into the non-motor vehicle lane without affecting the normal passage of other vehicles. If there are clear signs near the non-motor vehicle lane indicating that borrowing the lane is permitted, motor vehicles may drive in the non-motor vehicle lane under such circumstances. However, it is important to enter the non-motor vehicle lane at the dashed line to avoid crossing a solid line. Additionally, on sections of the road where auxiliary lanes are permitted, motor vehicles may use the auxiliary lane to make a right turn. Before entering the intersection, motor vehicles can move into the auxiliary lane for a right turn. These auxiliary lanes are generally shared with non-motor vehicle lanes and are designed to be user-friendly, preventing lane obstruction and avoiding early right turns that might cross the solid line, thereby significantly improving driving safety.
