Driving straight in a turning lane will result in a deduction of two points. Article 50 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of Traffic Safety" stipulates: At intersections with marked directional lanes, vehicles must enter the appropriate lane based on their intended direction of travel. Violations of this rule will be penalized with a fine of 100 yuan and a deduction of 2 points according to traffic regulations. Similar violations of not following directional lane markings include: There are three main types of violations for not following directional lane markings: First, driving straight while using a left-turn lane; second, making a left turn while using a straight lane; and third, making a right turn arbitrarily from either a left-turn or straight lane. Directional lane markings are road markings that guide the direction of travel. They are used to indicate the direction vehicles should follow when entering an intersection. These markings are typically found at busy intersections to clearly define the direction of travel, ensure orderly traffic flow, and reduce traffic congestion.
