Violators will be penalized according to the regulations on violating prohibition signs. Below is relevant information about the Beijing Entry Permit: Overview of Beijing Entry Permit: The Beijing Entry Permit is a temporary pass required for non-Beijing licensed vehicles entering within the Sixth Ring Road (excluding) of Beijing and certain sections outside the Sixth Ring Road, with a validity period of 7 days. Application points and inspection stations for the Beijing Entry Permit are set up on various expressways leading into the city. Reasons for Beijing Entry Permit: To precisely control vehicles that evade Beijing's passenger car quota policy by registering in other places but using them long-term in Beijing, ensuring the fairness and effectiveness of the motor vehicle total control policy, alleviating urban road traffic pressure and parking resource supply-demand conflicts, and reducing motor vehicle pollutant emissions.
As someone who often drives long distances, I forgot to apply for the Beijing entry permit last time I went to Beijing and was in a panic. When I was near the highway entrance, I quickly pulled over, turned on the hazard lights to ensure safety. Then I checked my phone and used the Beijing Traffic Police app to quickly apply for a replacement. After filling in the license plate number and trip information, the system automatically charged a 200 yuan fine and approved the electronic permit within minutes. Although I was unhappy about the fine, it was better than directly entering the restricted area and getting caught by electronic surveillance, which would result in points deduction. After the incident, I reflected on the reason, mainly because I was too busy with work and didn’t prepare in advance. I suggest everyone set a phone alarm reminder before traveling or use navigation software to bind traffic restriction rules—it’s simple, worry-free, and safe.
