What are the regulations for motor vehicles borrowing lanes?
2 Answers
When it does not affect the normal driving of other vehicles, motor vehicles may borrow lanes or change lanes. The specific regulations to be followed are as follows: Yield to vehicles in the borrowed lane; drive in order and avoid frequent lane changes; vehicles that should drive in the slow lane are allowed to borrow a lane to overtake when it does not hinder the normal driving of vehicles in the fast lane, but must return to the original lane immediately after overtaking; when vehicles from both the left and right lanes change to the same lane, vehicles from the left lane must yield to those from the right lane; vehicles in the fast lane driving below the minimum speed limit must promptly change to the slow lane. Motor vehicles must turn on their turn signals 100 to 50 meters in advance when turning, changing lanes, overtaking, making a U-turn, or parking by the roadside.
Remember the last time I drove long distance and encountered a road construction section, safety must come first when borrowing lanes. According to regulations, borrowing a lane to overtake must only be done when there is no oncoming traffic in the opposite lane, and the turn signal must be activated in advance. In situations where there is only one lane in the same direction, sufficient safety distance must be ensured before borrowing the lane. During peak hours like morning and evening traffic jams, never casually borrow the non-motorized lane to squeeze through, as it can be captured as a violation. If you really need to use the bicycle lane, the speed must be reduced to below 30 km/h, and pedestrians must be given the right of way. Borrowing lanes near pedestrian crossings or intersections is absolutely not allowed. Finally, a reminder: when borrowing a lane to overtake at night, the high and low beams must be alternated, a point many experienced drivers tend to overlook.
