What is the minimum engine displacement required for motorcycles to ride on highways?
1 Answers
The minimum speed limit on highways is 60 km/h, so motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50cc are allowed on highways. However, riders must wear helmets, maintain a speed between 60-80 km/h, are prohibited from carrying passengers, and must ride in the far-right lane. Here are the regulations regarding motorcycles on highways: 1. Article 67 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" stipulates: Pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles, tractors, wheeled special-purpose motor vehicles, articulated buses, full trailers, and other motor vehicles with a designed maximum speed below 70 km/h are not allowed on highways. This regulation does not explicitly prohibit motorcycles. 2. Article 78 of Section 5 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: Highways shall indicate the speed limits for each lane, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 km/h and the minimum speed not below 60 km/h. On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles shall not exceed 120 km/h, other motor vehicles shall not exceed 100 km/h, and motorcycles shall not exceed 80 km/h. According to this speed limit, motorcycles can only ride in the outermost lane of the highway. 3. Article 83 of Section 5 of the "Implementation Regulations of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" states: Cargo vehicles on highways are not allowed to carry passengers in their cargo compartments. Two-wheeled motorcycles are not allowed to carry passengers while riding on highways.
