What is the Difference Between Motorcycle Restrictions and Motorcycle Bans?
1 Answers
The difference between motorcycle restrictions and motorcycle bans is that restrictions limit certain license plates or certain time periods for passage, while bans prohibit all motorcycles except for official motorcycles from passing. Below is more information about motorcycle restrictions and bans: 1. Reasons for motorcycle restrictions and bans: Although motorcycles provide convenience for travel, they are among the vehicles with lower traffic safety coefficients and safety performance among all motor vehicles. Motorcycle traffic accidents account for a significant proportion of road traffic accidents. Additionally, motorcycles have low exhaust emission standards, causing severe pollution and noise, which degrade air quality and affect public health. 2. Proposal to lift motorcycle bans: During the 2020 National People's Congress, NPC deputy Li Shufu suggested piloting the relaxation of motorcycle bans and restrictions, unifying electric motorcycle licensing policies, strengthening operational management, standardizing regulatory laws, establishing a tiered driver's license system, and increasing research and development of electric motorcycles. This would help improve urban traffic efficiency, enhance the competitiveness of the motorcycle industry, expand employment and exports in the motorcycle sector, and comprehensively boost the international market competitiveness of Chinese motorcycle products. 3. Implementing inter-regional motorcycle registration transfers: On October 22, 2020, the Ministry of Public Security held a press conference in Beijing to announce the deepening of reforms in public security traffic management "simplification, decentralization, and service optimization," introducing 12 measures to optimize the business environment ("12 Measures to Deepen Public Security Traffic Management 'Simplification, Decentralization, and Service Optimization' Reforms and Optimize the Business Environment"). According to Li Jiangping, Director of the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the new reform measures mainly focus on three aspects: "cross-region processing," "convenient processing," and "online processing." The new reform measures were implemented starting November 20, 2020, bringing more convenience to people's daily lives and business operations. In terms of promoting "cross-region processing," four new measures were introduced, including nationwide "one-certificate testing" for motorcycle driver's licenses and inter-regional motorcycle registration transfers.
