1 Answers
1344 refers to the traffic violation of motor vehicles disobeying prohibition sign instructions, which is punishable by a fine and 3 demerit points according to the Road Traffic Safety Law. Violations such as making U-turns at no-U-turn or no-left-turn signs/markings, not following road signs, or driving the wrong way on one-way streets all constitute violations of prohibition sign instructions. Prohibition signs are a main category of traffic signs that prohibit or restrict vehicle actions, including no parking, no entry, no left turns, no honking, speed limits, weight limits, etc. With few exceptions, prohibition signs feature white backgrounds, red circles, red bars, black symbols, and symbols overlapping the bars. Their shapes include circles, octagons, and downward-pointing equilateral triangles.
