What Engine Displacement Motorcycles Are Allowed on Highways?

[FernandoLee]

Motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50cc (including 50cc) are permitted on highways, but this depends on specific road sections. Currently, some highways in China allow motorcycles (including large-displacement motorcycles) to enter, while others prohibit motorcycles from accessing highways. Regulations vary by region, so it is essential to comply with the requirements of the respective highway. When riding a motorcycle on the highway, it must be driven within the designated lane. The National Road Safety Law clearly stipulates that motorcycles on highways can only ride in the far-right lane. When encountering slow-moving vehicles obstructing traffic, the rider may use the left lane for overtaking under safe conditions and must return to the far-right lane after completing the maneuver. According to Article 83, Section 5 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," the cargo compartment of trucks traveling on highways must not carry passengers, and two-wheeled motorcycles are not allowed to carry passengers while riding on highways.
