What is the penalty for motor vehicles driving into non-motorized vehicle lanes?
2 Answers
Penalty standards may vary by region and are subject to the local traffic police system. Below is relevant information about non-motorized vehicle lanes: Introduction: Non-motorized vehicle lanes are dedicated lanes for vehicles powered by human or animal force, as well as vehicles with power devices but designed with maximum speed, unladen weight, and dimensions that comply with national standards, such as motorized wheelchairs for the disabled and electric bicycles. These lanes are further divided into bicycle lanes and pedestrian lanes. Pedestrian lanes include blind tracks and dedicated lanes for disabled facilities. Classification: Based on management practices, non-motorized vehicles are typically categorized into bicycles, tricycles, electric bicycles, motorized wheelchairs for the disabled, and animal-drawn carts.
I remember last year when I was driving in the city, frustrated by the traffic jam, I turned into the bike lane thinking it would be a shortcut. But just after driving a few dozen meters, I was stopped by a patrolling traffic officer who lectured me, saying that motor vehicles entering non-motorized lanes are not only illegal but also extremely dangerous, especially for cyclists or pedestrians. In the end, I was fined 200 yuan and had 3 points deducted from my driver's license. Honestly, that lesson was so profound. It was only afterward that I realized the strict division of lanes is to ensure everyone's safety. In urban areas, non-motorized lanes are usually narrow, and if cars recklessly squeeze in, it can cause accidents or traffic congestion. When driving, always pay attention to road signs and ground markings. Don't seek temporary convenience—developing good habits can help you avoid fines, points deduction, and unnecessary risks.
