Shanghai's traffic limitation policy for out-of-town vehicles is as follows: From 7:00 to 10:00 and 15:00 to 20:00 daily, small passenger vehicles with non-Shanghai license plates, small passenger vehicles with temporary license plates, unoccupied taxis, and small passenger vehicles driven by drivers in their probationary period are prohibited from entering the restricted areas (except on Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays). The restricted areas for out-of-town license plates in Shanghai include: 1. Yan'an Elevated Road (east of S20); 2. North-South Elevated Road (from Humu Road to Luban Interchange); 3. Yixian Elevated Road (entire route); 4. Humin Elevated Road (entire route); 5. Middle Ring Road (entire route); 6. Huaxia Elevated Road (entire route); 7. Luoshan Elevated Road (entire route); 8. Resort Area Elevated Road (from Middle Ring Road to Xiupu Road); 9. Inner Ring Elevated Road (except for the sections from Zhongshan North 2nd Road entrance to Jinxiu Road exit on the inner loop, and from Jinxiu Road entrance to Huangxing Road exit on the outer loop); 10. Nanpu Bridge; 11. Lupu Bridge; 12. Yan'an East Road Tunnel.

Oh boy, I really experienced how strict Shanghai's out-of-town vehicle restrictions are when I drove there for business. During weekday rush hours - from 7-9 AM and 4:30-6:30 PM - my out-of-town license plate couldn't enter the inner ring area at all. I remember once being in a hurry and forgetting to check the time window, nearly getting fined 200 yuan with penalty points too. Now I've learned - either leave early to detour around peak hours or just park at the outer ring and take the metro downtown. It's worry-free and eco-friendly. You can enter during non-peak hours normally, but need to pay attention to navigation app alerts. If you're visiting Shanghai for tourism or business, I recommend checking traffic rule apps to plan your trip, so you don't take detours like I did.

What is the maintenance interval for the Buick Regal?

Shanghai GM's official recommended maintenance schedule for the Regal model is as follows: The first free engine oil change is available at 5,000 kilometers, and the second free engine oil change at 10,000 kilometers. The engine oil and filter should be replaced every 5,000 kilometers, while the air filter, fuel filter, and cabin air filter share the same replacement interval of every 20,000 kilometers. Additional maintenance information for the Shanghai GM Regal is as follows: 1. Vehicle Warranty: The new Buick Regal comes with a manufacturer's warranty of two years or 60,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The recommended maintenance frequency is every 5,000 kilometers, with the first service being free of charge. 2. Maintenance Items: During each service, multiple components of the new Buick Regal require replacement. The fuel filter and air filter are replaced every 10,000 kilometers, while the cabin air filter is replaced annually or approximately every 20,000 kilometers (whichever comes first). Additionally, a full fluid replacement is required at 40,000 kilometers, though the cost of this service is relatively affordable.

What Causes a Loud Clunking Noise from the Front Chassis When Braking?

The reasons for a loud clunking noise from the front chassis when braking are: 1. Excessive aging of the suspension bushings. If the rubber bushings are worn out, it can increase the play between various chassis components, leading to abnormal noises. Simply replace the old rubber bushings with new ones. 2. Damage to the front shock absorber's thrust bearing. Replace it with a new one. After installing the new thrust bearing, it is essential to perform a wheel alignment to prevent the car from pulling to one side or causing uneven tire wear. When replacing the thrust bearing, always opt for OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts, as they offer better reliability and durability.

Should You Use Low Beam or High Beam on the Highway?

On the highway, you should use high beam. The streetlights on highways are not very dense, and visibility is poor. The illumination range of low beam is only about 30 meters, which can easily lead to accidents. In contrast, high beam has a longer illumination range of about 100 meters, providing sufficient distance to handle sudden situations. When the distance to the vehicle ahead is within 100 meters, you should switch to low beam. The control for high and low beams is on the left-hand stalk of the steering wheel. The middle position is for low beam, while the first and third positions are for high beam. High beam should only be used when there are no streetlights and visibility is poor. In most cases, low beam is sufficient, such as on well-lit roads, when two vehicles meet, or when road conditions are good with clear visibility.

What to Do If the Car Owner Refuses to Move Their Vehicle?

Methods to handle a situation where your car is blocked and the owner refuses to move their vehicle: 1. Tell a white lie: If the owner claims they are in a hurry and cannot come to move the car, or if their attitude is very rude, avoid any arguments and try other approaches. For example, tell the owner that there is a scratch on their car—most car owners cannot tolerate any damage to their vehicle, and the blocking owner will likely come immediately to check. 2. Call the traffic management hotline 12123: By providing the license plate number to the operator, they will contact the owner to move the car as soon as possible. 3. Call the police directly: If the situation is severe, you can call the traffic police to have the car towed. If the vehicle is seriously obstructing traffic and the owner cannot be reached, the police may tow it away. The owner may later find their car missing, but this outcome is entirely their own fault.

Will I get points deducted if I don't slow down when the highway suddenly limits speed to 80?

If the speeding is within 10%, no points will be deducted. If the speeding exceeds 10%, points will be deducted. The following is a detailed explanation of fines and points deduction for ordinary vehicles outside the highway: 1. Speeding between 10% and 20% above the limit: fined and 3 points deducted. 2. Speeding between 20% and 30% above the limit: fined and 6 points deducted. 3. Speeding between 20% and 30% above the limit: fined and 6 points deducted. 4. Speeding between 50% and 70% above the limit: fined, 12 points deducted, and driver's license revoked. 5. Speeding over 70% above the limit: fined, 12 points deducted, and driver's license revoked.

Should Tire Pressure Be Reduced at High Altitudes?

It is necessary to reduce the tire pressure by 0.2 bar because the atmospheric pressure is lower at high altitudes. If the tire pressure remains unchanged, it effectively increases compared to that on plains. Here is an introduction to tire pressure: 1. Overinflation: When tire pressure is too high, the contact area between the tire and the ground decreases, leading to a significant increase in pressure and wear per unit area. This can easily result in loss of braking control, tire blowouts when encountering road protrusions or depressions, damage to the vehicle's suspension system, and an uncomfortable ride. 2. Underinflation: When tire pressure is too low, the contact area between the tire and the ground increases, causing abnormal temperature rises inside the tire during driving. Additionally, severe deformation of the tire sidewalls accelerates the aging of internal steel wires and fabric layers, increasing the risk of blowouts, higher fuel consumption, and reduced tire lifespan.
