What Vehicles Are Considered Non-Motorized?
1 Answers
Non-motorized vehicles refer to transportation tools driven by human or animal power that operate on roads, as well as certain motorized vehicles such as disabled motorized wheelchairs that, despite having power devices, meet national standards regarding maximum design speed, unladen weight, and dimensions. These include trailers, cargo handcarts, and animal-drawn carts. Below is an introduction to non-motorized vehicle lanes: Introduction to Non-Motorized Vehicle Lanes: These lanes are designated on the roadway of highways or urban roads, extending from the right curb (or line) of the sidewalk to the first lane division line (or barrier/pillar), or are marked on sidewalks. Except under special circumstances, they are exclusively for non-motorized vehicles. Design of Non-Motorized Vehicle Lanes: In domestic urban road design, bicycles are generally used as the standard model for non-motorized lanes. Bicycles move in a serpentine pattern, swaying approximately 0.2m to each side, with handlebars 0.6m wide. Therefore, a single bicycle lane is typically designed to be 1m wide. When bicycles are on the road, they should maintain a distance of 0.45m from the curb; inside tunnels, the distance from the wall should be 0.6m.
