Where Can Motorcycles Access Highways?

[AnthonyLynn]

In China, provinces and regions where motorcycles are allowed on highways include Fujian Province, Shaanxi Province, Tianjin Municipality, Shanghai Municipality, Chongqing Municipality, Tibet Autonomous Region, and Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. Below are relevant details about motorcycles on highways: 1. Precautions for riding motorcycles on highways: Riders must wear helmets due to the unique risks of motorcycle riding. Helmets are essential for preventing hazards and ensuring personal safety. It is recommended to purchase high-quality helmets for better safety assurance. 2. Requirements for motorcycles on highways: Riders must have all necessary documents, including a valid motorcycle driver's license and vehicle registration, as well as compulsory traffic insurance. The motorcycle's engine displacement must exceed 125cc, and the speed must not exceed 80 km/h.

In China, motorcycles are allowed on highways, but specific regulations vary by region. As an experienced rider, from a safety perspective, while all highways permit motorcycle access, the risks are high: wearing a standard helmet is mandatory; riding is restricted to the far-right lane; the maximum speed is 80 kilometers per hour; and carrying passengers is prohibited. For example, highway entrances connected to national or provincial roads generally allow motorcycles, but certain urban entrances or sections like those in Beijing and Shanghai prohibit motorcycles on highways. I advise riders to check local regulations in advance and carry their driver's license; avoid riding in rain or fog due to low visibility increasing accident risks. Additionally, regularly check brakes and tires to prevent loss of control at high speeds.

Can motorcycles go on highways? As someone who frequently travels across provinces, I believe most highways nationwide generally allow them. Legally, the Traffic Law permits motorcycles on highways but with rules: no passengers allowed; helmets must be worn; must stay in the rightmost lane. Regional differences exist: Guangdong is open, while Fujian or Hunan highway entrances often allow access; but sections like Shanghai Pudong may have bans. I advise checking routes beforehand and following local traffic laws to avoid fines or accidents. Also, carry insurance proof just in case.

I started riding motorcycles when I was young, and highway riding was part of my daily routine. Most highway entrances allow motorcycles, such as major intercity highways like the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Expressway or Shanghai-Kunming Expressway, but you must stay in the rightmost lane and keep your speed under 80 km/h. I've ridden on Sichuan's highways—the scenery is beautiful, and the road conditions are good. Some sections outside Beijing's Fifth Ring Road might have restrictions. Beginners should ride with companions, wear high-quality helmets, and avoid night riding for safety.
