What is the penalty for not driving in the designated lane?
1 Answers
The penalty for not driving in the designated lane is a fine and 3 demerit points. If the violation occurs on roads other than highways or urban expressways, only a fine will be imposed without demerit points. When motor vehicles pass through intersections controlled by traffic signals and with designated lanes, they must enter the appropriate lane based on their intended direction of travel. For example, if a vehicle going straight enters a left-turn or right-turn lane, electronic surveillance will immediately capture the violation. At intersections with traffic signs or markings, the vehicle with the right of way should proceed first. At intersections without traffic signs or markings, vehicles must stop and observe before entering, yielding to vehicles coming from the right. Turning vehicles must yield to vehicles going straight, and right-turning vehicles must yield to left-turning vehicles coming from the opposite direction. Based on road conditions and traffic needs, roads are divided into motor vehicle lanes, non-motor vehicle lanes, and pedestrian lanes, with motor vehicles, non-motor vehicles, and pedestrians each using their designated lanes. On roads without such divisions, motor vehicles should drive in the middle, while non-motor vehicles and pedestrians should use the sides.
