Violation code 60230 means: Driving a motor vehicle on roads other than expressways or urban expressways without following the designated lane. According to the relevant regulations of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the penalty includes: Demerit points (deduction): 0 points; Fine amount: 50 yuan; Other penalties: None. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, categorized according to the principles of the traffic law. The sequence from left to right is as follows: the first digit is the behavior classification code, the second digit is the demerit point classification code, the third and fourth digits are the sequential code, and the fifth digit indicates the item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category in the Road Traffic Law; Second digit: Demerit point classification code, indicating the category of demerit points for the traffic violation; Third, fourth, and fifth digits: Sequential code, indicating the order of the violation within the same behavior classification. For example: 13035—"1" indicates motor vehicle behavior, the second digit "3" indicates a deduction of 3 points, and "035" indicates the fifth item of the third violation under the 3-point deduction category. Behavior classification code violation descriptions: Codes starting with "1" indicate motor vehicle traffic, e.g., 1003; Codes starting with "2" indicate non-motor vehicle traffic, e.g., 2002; Codes starting with "3" indicate pedestrian or passenger traffic, e.g., 3030; Codes starting with "4" indicate expressway traffic, e.g., 4002; Codes starting with "5" indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005; Codes starting with "7" indicate implementation rules of provinces, autonomous regions, or municipalities, e.g., 7008; Codes starting with "8" indicate local regulations of cities (prefectures, autonomous prefectures, or leagues), e.g., 8606. There are four common ways to check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic branches in various districts and counties to query through touch terminals; Log in to the external service websites of the Public Security Traffic Management Bureau of each city, locate the vehicle violation query, enter the license plate number and vehicle engine number, and click to query; Call the inquiry hotline (area code + 114); Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to query. For the violation of driving a motor vehicle on roads other than expressways or urban expressways without following the designated lane, you can handle it through the Traffic Management app. After logging in, enter the violation handling process, complete the processing, and make the payment.
This code 60230 is actually quite common among traffic tickets. Simply put, it means a motor vehicle illegally used a dedicated lane, such as a bus lane or emergency lane. I remember one time my friend was in a hurry after work and drove in the bus lane, only to be caught by an electronic camera and fined 150 yuan. The traffic regulations are quite clear: except for buses and special vehicles, any other vehicle using a dedicated lane during specified hours is considered a violation. The fine amount varies by city—I recall it's 300 yuan in Shenzhen and 200 yuan in Beijing, plus 3 penalty points. The most troublesome part is that this kind of violation can easily result in multiple tickets because dedicated lanes are usually monitored throughout their entire length.
