Why is it unnecessary to observe traffic lights when turning right?
1 Answers
When driving, turning right does not require observing traffic lights, primarily due to the principle of right-hand traffic in China. Here is the relevant information: Reasons: At intersections without a dedicated right-turn arrow traffic light, vehicles turning right can do so as long as they do not impede the normal passage of other vehicles. Right-turning vehicles maintaining normal traffic flow have minimal impact on other lanes, thereby improving road traffic efficiency. Relevant regulations: Article 44 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China' states that on roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction, the left lane is designated as the fast lane, and the right lane as the slow lane. Motor vehicles driving in the fast lane should travel at the speed specified for the fast lane. Those not reaching the specified speed should drive in the slow lane.
