1 Answers
Motor vehicles parked illegally on the roadside will be fined if caught on camera. According to Article 93 of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, for violations of laws and regulations regarding motor vehicle parking or temporary stopping, authorities may point out the illegal act, issue a verbal warning, and order immediate departure. Below are relevant details about roadside parking: 1. Prohibited parking situations: Parking is prohibited on the white dashed lines of pedestrian crossings, as these are designated for pedestrian passage. 2. Related penalties: If the driver is not present or refuses to leave immediately, obstructing other vehicles or pedestrians, a fine will be imposed, and the vehicle may be towed to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a designated area by the traffic management department. The traffic management authorities must not charge the vehicle owner for towing and should promptly inform them of the vehicle's location. If the vehicle is damaged due to improper towing methods, the authorities are legally responsible for compensation.
