What does traffic violation code 16360 mean?

[AmirAnn]

Violation code 16360 means: Driving vehicles other than medium-sized or above passenger vehicles, cargo vehicles, school buses, or hazardous material transport vehicles at a speed exceeding the prescribed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%. According to Article 42 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": When driving on the road, motor vehicles shall not exceed the maximum speed indicated by speed limit signs. On road sections without speed limit signs, safe driving speeds shall be maintained. When driving at night or on road sections prone to danger, or under weather conditions such as sandstorms, hail, rain, snow, fog, or icy roads, driving speed shall be reduced. Article 45 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Motor vehicles driving on the road shall not exceed the speed indicated by speed limit signs or markings. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles shall not exceed the following maximum speeds: For roads without a central dividing line, the speed limit is 30 km/h in urban areas and 40 km/h on highways. For roads with only one lane in the same direction, the speed limit is 50 km/h in urban areas and 70 km/h on highways. Traffic violation codes consist of four to five digits, classified according to the principles of traffic law. The order from left to right is: the first digit represents the behavior classification code, the second digit represents the penalty point classification code, the third and fourth digits are sequential numbers, and the fifth digit represents the specific item number. First digit: Behavior classification code, indicating the category of the violation in the Road Traffic Law. Second digit: Penalty point classification code, indicating the penalty 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 a motor vehicle violation, the second digit "3" indicates 3 penalty points, and "035" indicates the fifth item under the third category of 3-point violations. Behavior classification code violation descriptions: Codes starting with 1 indicate motor vehicle violations, e.g., 1003. Codes starting with 2 indicate non-motor vehicle violations, e.g., 2002. Codes starting with 3 indicate pedestrian or passenger violations, e.g., 3030. Codes starting with 4 indicate highway violations, e.g., 4002. Codes starting with 5 indicate other regulations, e.g., 5005. Codes starting with 7 indicate provincial, autonomous region, or municipal regulations, e.g., 7008. Codes starting with 8 indicate local regulations of cities, regions, or autonomous prefectures, e.g., 8606. There are four common methods to check motor vehicle violations: Visit the office halls of traffic police departments in various districts or counties and use touch-screen terminals to check. Log in to the official websites of local public security traffic management bureaus, find the vehicle violation query section, enter the license plate number and engine number, and click to query. Call the hotline (area code + 114) to inquire. Use the Traffic Management 12123 app (V2.8.1B437 for iOS 15+ or V2.8.1B274 for Android 12+) to check.

Violation code 16360 in traffic regulations refers to driving over the speed limit, specifically exceeding the prescribed speed by more than 20% but less than 50%. This typically applies to general passenger vehicles. I've heard many people get fined for this, such as accidentally driving too fast on highways or urban expressways. If caught, it usually results in 6 penalty points and a fine of 200 RMB, which significantly impacts one's driver's license. Some road sections have rapidly changing speed limits, making it easy to fall into the trap. I recommend everyone pay more attention to navigation alerts and consider installing a radar detector for peace of mind. Speeding not only leads to fines and penalty points but also increases accident risks—safety first. Develop the habit of controlling your speed regularly and check violation records periodically to avoid regretting after being fined.
