Will driving not in accordance with the designated lane be penalized?
1 Answers
Driving not in accordance with the designated lane will be penalized. There are two types of designated lanes: fixed designated lanes and variable designated lanes. The specific details are as follows: Fixed Designated Lane: Fixed designated lanes have a constant direction; straight lanes always remain straight, and right-turn lanes always remain right-turn. Violating the designated lane in such fixed lanes results in a penalty of 2 demerit points and a fine of 200 RMB. If driving not in accordance with the designated lane is accompanied by other violations (such as making turns or U-turns in sections where they are not allowed and there are no signs, yellow prohibition markings may be painted on the lane to warn drivers that turns or U-turns are prohibited in such sections), additional penalties will be imposed. Variable Designated Lane: Variable designated lanes, also known as tidal flow lanes, change direction based on time, for example, switching from straight to left-turn. Warning signs next to tidal flow lanes indicate the applicable time periods, such as straight-only during morning rush hours and left-turn-only during evening rush hours. Tidal flow lanes have zigzag markings and prominent roadside signs. If you are unfamiliar with tidal flow lanes, the best practice is to avoid entering them.
