What does it mean to not use the non-motorized vehicle lane?
1 Answers
It means motor vehicles are not allowed to use the non-motorized vehicle lane. The non-motorized vehicle lane is a separate lane designated for non-motorized vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle in the non-motorized vehicle lane or using it to make a right turn constitutes not driving in the designated lane, which violates the provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law: where special lanes are designated on the road, only specified vehicles are allowed to travel within the special lanes, and other vehicles are not allowed to enter the special lanes. No penalty will be imposed for temporarily using the non-motorized vehicle lane to detour under special circumstances, as detailed below: 1. There is a dotted line between the non-motorized vehicle lane and the right-turn lane. 2. There are clear signs beside the non-motorized vehicle lane indicating that borrowing the lane is allowed. 3. Vehicles can use the auxiliary lane to make a right turn where auxiliary lane passage is permitted. 4. If traffic police on-site direct vehicles to use the non-motorized vehicle lane or require a right turn from the non-motorized vehicle lane, follow the arrangements of the traffic police.
