What is a Transit Vehicle?
2 Answers
Vehicles from other regions passing through the local area are called transit vehicles. For example, a car traveling from Beijing to Guangdong Province that passes through Nanjing would be considered a transit vehicle in Nanjing. To ensure smooth traffic flow in the city, traffic management departments often impose restrictions on the routes and times for transit vehicles. Relevant information about vehicle restrictions is as follows: 1. Regulations: The Ministry of Transport stipulates that starting from September 21, double-row vehicle transporters are prohibited from entering highways; from July 1, 2018, non-compliant vehicle transporters are completely banned, and standard freight vehicle models are promoted. Portable STW-18 overload detection equipment can be set up at highway entrances for random inspections. 2. Cancellation of the 15-year scrapping policy for pickup trucks: The cancellation of the 15-year scrapping rule for pickup trucks is only a new regulation in some regions. However, vehicles that fail annual inspections or reach 600,000 kilometers in mileage must still be scrapped. Currently, most regions still enforce the 15-year scrapping rule.
Transit vehicles refer to those that enter one country from another, merely passing through briefly without stopping. For example, I often see trucks transporting goods from neighboring countries, just refueling in border cities before heading straight to the destination country. These vehicles usually require special permits for transit, such as TIR temporary transport documents, and customs may also place seals on the vehicles to prevent cargo tampering during transit. Transit routes are fixed, and unauthorized detours may result in fines. Transit vehicles are important for promoting trade, but if their numbers are too large, they can also create traffic pressure at borders. Many drivers are in a hurry and may neglect the risks of fatigue driving, which is a concern worth noting.
