Highways have lane division lines, deceleration markings, distance confirmation lines, and diversion lines. Below are detailed explanations of these markings: Lane Division Lines: White dashed lines are lane division lines. If the markings are dashed, vehicles can cross them to overtake. Deceleration Markings: These usually appear at toll booths, ramps, or areas requiring reduced speed. They come in forms of single, double, or triple dashed lines to remind drivers to slow down and avoid rear-end collisions. Distance Confirmation Lines: These are thick white parallel solid lines on highways, used in conjunction with distance confirmation signs. They are placed in areas prone to overtaking, accidents, or other necessary sections. Their purpose is to remind drivers to maintain a safe following distance when they see these markings. Diversion Lines: These are V-shaped white markings. Once a vehicle enters this area, it must not change lanes arbitrarily or drive over or across the lines.

Does the vehicle owner need to be present to apply for ETC?

Non-owners can also apply for ETC. According to the "Implementation Plan for Accelerating the Application Service of Electronic Non-stop Toll Collection on Expressways" issued by the Ministry of Transport, the original valid ID card of the vehicle owner, the original and photocopy of the vehicle registration certificate (showing the most recent annual inspection stamp page) are required. For proxy applications, the original valid ID card of the proxy is also needed. If applying for ETC through major bank branches, a debit or credit card from the corresponding bank is required. Some banks only support ETC binding with credit cards, while others may require freezing a portion of the amount as a deposit when binding with debit cards. ETC Deduction Principle: There will be one or more ETC lanes on highways. Through dedicated short-range microwave communication between the vehicle-mounted electronic tag installed on the windshield and the microwave antenna in the ETC lane at toll stations, and using computer networking technology for backend settlement with banks, the system achieves the purpose of collecting tolls without requiring vehicles to stop at toll stations. All this is based on the principle of "pass first, deduct later". Benefits of Installing ETC: Time-saving: Eliminates the hassle of queuing and waiting; Green and eco-friendly: Low-carbon solution reduces noise and exhaust emissions by allowing vehicles to pass toll stations without stopping; Reduced wear: Saves costs by decreasing the frequency of vehicle starts and brakes, thus reducing wear and fuel consumption; Improved efficiency: Theoretically, ETC lanes can increase vehicle passing efficiency by 2-3 times, making traditional ETC faster, more advanced, and high-tech. Compared to license plate payment, ETC technology is more mature and advantageous. More policy support: The State Council explicitly stated in the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of a Modern Comprehensive Transportation System" that "by 2020, the interoperability of transportation cards in key city clusters should be basically achieved, and the proportion of vehicles equipped with ETC should be significantly increased." It also set a target in the "13th Five-Year" comprehensive transportation development indicators: "By 2020, the ETC usage rate for road passenger vehicles should reach 50%." More future possibilities: In addition to continuously improving the convenience of ETC installation and usage rates for passenger vehicles, efforts will be made to promote ETC usage for trucks and explore deeper integration of ETC systems with smart transportation directions such as vehicle-to-vehicle communication and vehicle-road coordination. This will provide comprehensive travel services for vehicle owners, meaning more application scenarios will support ETC. ETC Usage Notes: The ETC transaction sensing range is 8 meters. If the vehicle in front stops, maintain a distance of over 10 meters to prevent automatic sensing and payment for the front vehicle, especially if it has a faulty or no ETC device. The recognized speed for ETC lane passage is 20 km/h. Speeding may prevent reading vehicle device information and lead to deduction failures. Unauthorized removal or movement of the OBU device, or detachment/loosening of the ETC electronic tag, will render the tag invalid. It can be taken to the bank where the ETC card was issued or the highway service office for inspection. Non-deliberate loosening or detachment only requires reactivation. Insufficient balance on a debit card bound to ETC may cause deduction failures. Follow on-site staff guidance to use manual MTC lanes and pay via cash or card. Excessively thick windshields may cause poor sensing. This is particularly relevant for vehicles that have had windshield replacements after accidents or modifications.

What is the tire size of the Toyota Levin?

Toyota Levin's tire size is 205/55-R16. Below are the specific details about the Toyota Levin's tires: 1. As one of the most important components of a car, Toyota Levin's tires are responsible for supporting the entire vehicle body and transmitting direction; they form good contact with the ground to ensure the vehicle can drive safely on the road. 2. When replacing tires, the specifications must match those of the original vehicle's tires. Wheels on the same axle should especially maintain consistent specifications, and the tread patterns and groove depths should be similar. For four-wheel-drive vehicles, it is best to replace all tires at once. If only two tires are replaced, it may result in inconsistent friction coefficients, leading to increased fuel consumption.

What is the ground clearance of the Chery Fengyun 2?

The minimum ground clearance of the Chery Fengyun 2 is 162mm. Normal ground clearance: Theoretically, the minimum ground clearance of a typical family sedan generally ranges between 11-15 cm. Based on this parameter, a higher ground clearance (usually exceeding 13 cm) provides relatively better off-road performance, but slightly poorer stability at higher speeds. Conversely, a ground clearance below 110 mm ensures stable handling on highways but compromises the vehicle's off-road capability. Some modern cars are equipped with air suspension systems that can automatically adjust the ground clearance in real-time, effectively balancing both stability and off-road performance. Ground clearance of other vehicle models:
