What to Do When Encountering Illegally Parked Vehicles Blocking the Way?

[JoannaAnn]

You can call 122 to report to the police. If the motor vehicle driver is not present or refuses to leave immediately despite being present, thereby obstructing the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan may be imposed. Additionally, the vehicle may be towed to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a designated parking area by the traffic management department of the public security organ. The traffic management department of the public security organ must not charge the party involved for towing and should promptly inform them of the parking location. Below is more information on illegally parked vehicles: 1. On-site illegal parking penalties: For those who violate the regulations on motor vehicle parking under the road traffic safety laws, if the driver is present, the traffic police can point out the violation, issue a verbal warning, and order the driver to leave immediately. Generally, as long as the driver leaves quickly, no fine will be imposed. If the driver refuses to leave and the parked vehicle obstructs the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, the traffic police will impose a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. 2. Off-site illegal parking penalties: If the driver is not present, in addition to issuing a fine ticket, if the parked vehicle obstructs the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians, the traffic police department has the authority to tow the vehicle to a location that does not obstruct traffic or to a designated parking area by the traffic management department of the public security organ. 3. Temporary parking violations: Parking on the left side of the road in the direction of travel with the driver still in the vehicle; parking at intersections, railway crossings, curves, narrow roads, bridges, steep slopes, tunnels, or within 20 meters of these locations; parking at bus stops, tram stops, emergency stations, gas stations, fire hydrants, or in front of fire stations and within 30 meters of these locations; buses or trams parking outside designated stops; temporary parking at night without turning on the width lights.
