What are the penalties for reversing at an intersection?
1 Answers
Reversing a motor vehicle at a cross intersection is equivalent to driving against traffic. Illegally overtaking or driving against traffic on urban roads results in a fine of 50 yuan, a 3-month suspension of the driver's license, and 6 penalty points. Reversing, driving against traffic, or making a U-turn across the central divider on a highway will directly result in 12 penalty points. Below are the relevant details: 1. Legal Basis: Article 50, Section 2, Chapter IV of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: When reversing a motor vehicle, the driver must observe the situation behind the vehicle and confirm safety before reversing. Reversing is prohibited at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, or tunnels. 2. When a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic signals, it shall proceed as follows: (1) At intersections with marked guide lanes, enter the guide lane according to the intended direction of travel. (2) When preparing to enter a roundabout, yield to motor vehicles already within the intersection. (3) When turning left, turn from the left side of the center point of the intersection. Turn signals must be activated when turning, and low beams must be used when driving at night. (4) When encountering a green light, pass through in sequence.
