  Starting from August 21st, Shenzhen extended the restricted area of non-deep-plate passenger cars (hereinafter referred to as "foreign cars") to the whole city. On September 1st, the law was formally enforced. For vehicles that violate the traffic restrictions, 300 yuan will be punished according to the prohibition, and 3 points will be recorded.

What problems need to be understood to expand the restricted area of foreign cars during peak hours?

  1. The time limit is unchanged: it is still 7: 00-9: 00 and 17: 30-19: 30 in the morning and evening peaks of the working day;

  2. The type of foreign cars is unchanged: it is still a passenger car with a motor vehicle number plate issued by a non-local city;

  3. Implementation time: it will be implemented from August 21st, 2017 to January 31st, 2018, with the law enforcement buffer period from August 21st to August 31st, and the law enforcement will be officially implemented on September 1st.

  4. The restricted area for foreign vehicles has been extended from the current "inside the original special zone+part outside the original special zone" to the whole city of Shenzhen (except for expressways and some roads at import and export ports and airports).

Is there an exception to the rush hour restriction for foreign cars?

  Yes! For the first, military vehicles, police cars, fire engines, ambulances and engineering rescue vehicles that perform tasks; Passenger vehicles with road transport documents (excluding rental cars); Hong Kong license plate vehicles (including Hong Kong mainland license and Mainland Hong Kong license) and embassy license plate vehicles are not subject to restrictions on foreign vehicles. Second, if the passenger cars with motor vehicle license plates issued by non-local cities need to pass through the closed time and roads due to national and provincial large-scale conferences, exhibitions and other activities, they should go to the municipal traffic police department in advance to apply for temporary motor vehicle passes, and only after approval can they pass according to the regulations.

Except for the morning and evening rush hours, can non-deep number plates pass normally in Shenzhen?

  Can! Shenzhen traffic police only limit the peak traffic demand, not the general traffic demand. Shenzhen’s "out-of-hours" are the morning peak (7: 00-9: 00) and the evening peak (17: 30-19: 30) on weekdays, and there are no restrictions on other time periods and legal holidays. Overall, the restricted time only accounts for 13.8% of the total time. Note: Off-site passenger vehicles (excluding rental cars) with road transport certificates are not subject to "out-of-limit" measures.

What should I do if the new regulations are introduced and the regulations are violated for a while?

  Forgive you, of course! If a foreign car is recorded on several restricted roads during a working day, it is only recognized as a driving record; And those who violate the restrictions for the first time and the second time will not be punished, and will be punished according to law from the third time, which is referred to as "starting punishment once a day and three times". If drivers of non-deep-license motor vehicles need to use their cars in rush hours under special circumstances, they can log in to the entrance of "Self-declaration of non-deep-license passenger cars entering Shenzhen" on the website of Shenzhen Traffic Police Bureau, and declare in advance can "exempt" from driving once a month in restricted time and road sections.

  As a "foreign car", why do you want to restrict my travel?

  First, expanding the restricted range of non-deep license plate vehicles is a work requirement for strengthening the prevention and control of air pollution;

  Second, the use of foreign vehicles has maintained a high growth trend, and effective measures need to be taken to control the travel demand of motor vehicles and alleviate road traffic congestion;

  Third, the new round of urban construction climax is mainly concentrated in areas outside the original special zone, and it is urgent to proactively regulate the city’s traffic demand from the demand side;

  Fourth, the comprehensive promotion of new energy vehicles needs supporting policies to guide them. Today’s inconvenience is to make the city where we live more smooth and orderly and the environment more beautiful! (Reporter Tu Sheng)
