Will honking in a no-honking zone result in penalty points?
1 Answers
Honking in a no-honking zone usually results in a 3-point penalty. Driving a motor vehicle and honking in prohibited areas or road sections is not allowed. Drivers' indiscriminate honking not only affects citizens' normal travel but also creates disharmonious noise in a civilized city, making it necessary to enforce honking violations through surveillance. According to Articles 62 and 90 of the Road Traffic Safety Law, violators may receive a warning or a fine and be penalized with 3 points. No-honking zones include: Honking is prohibited in residential areas, schools, hospitals, or congested road sections, especially when drivers honk aggressively to urge pedestrians crossing the road. Drivers honking when other vehicles change lanes or obstruct their path. Honking aggressively to urge slower-starting vehicles or those driving slowly in front. Many regions now have honking surveillance systems in place. If a driver violates honking regulations, they will be captured on camera and penalized according to relevant laws.
