The car has truly become a part of people's lives now, but although it can improve our travel rate and quality of life, the car is still a high luxury for the country. Car maintenance requires cost, parking and traffic jams are also the norm, so many people choose to buy electric bicycles to ride. For people, electric bicycles are small, free to shuttle, and faster to meet people's needs.
In China, the number of electric bicycles is far greater than the number of cars, which is mainly due to the small size of electric bicycles, high flexibility, and the most important thing that is not affected by traffic jams is the convenience of parking. However, the continuous increase in the number of electric vehicles, but also brought about the corresponding traffic hazards, in fact, most of the car accidents in the country are driven by electric vehicle owners do not follow the traffic rules, and finally collide with the car to lead to the occurrence of car accidents, but the result of car accidents is often the owner of the electric vehicle is seriously injured, and even threatens the safety of life.
Because most electric vehicles do not drive according to traffic rules, random overtaking lanes and running red lights and other behaviors have brought so many safety hazards, so the relevant departments have also promulgated relevant traffic rules for electric vehicles. In the beginning, in order to limit the violation of electric vehicles, only some simple electric vehicle traffic rules were promulgated.
Authorities require people who ride electric vehicles to list their electric vehicles when traveling, and they must wear helmets when riding. Although these rules have been promulgated, people riding electric vehicles, only wearing helmets, a safety measure, does not guarantee people's personal safety when riding.
However, in November 2021, the relevant departments promulgated some new traffic rules for electric vehicles and fully implemented them nationwide. It clearly stipulates the production standards of electric vehicles, the body must not exceed 55 kg, the speed of driving can not exceed 25 km / h, the motor power of the vehicle can not exceed 400w and the voltage must not exceed 48V, the most important thing is that the electric vehicle must be equipped with foot pedals, which can enable people to carry out normal riding.
The promulgation of these rules, although it may make some electric vehicle owners feel uncomfortable, but the promulgation of these rules and regulations has indeed improved, and the safety of riding electric vehicles has greatly reduced the occurrence of car accidents. So what are the new traffic rules?
Point 1 speed limit.
The new regulations say that the speed of electric vehicle production can only reach 25 kilometers per hour, but the previous electric vehicle production standard is to be able to reach 50 kilometers per hour, which has reduced the speed by half. Not only that, but fortunately, it is clearly stated that the maximum speed of electric vehicles cannot exceed 15 kilometers per hour when driving on the road, which means that people cannot use the maximum speed of electric vehicles on the road at will.
Point 2 has introduced crosswalks.
Under normal circumstances, people think that riding electric vehicles is also like pedestrians, but when the speed of electric vehicles is faster, it is easy to hit pedestrians and even collide with passing vehicles, so the new regulations clearly state that when the owner of an electric vehicle wants to cross the zebra crossing, he must get off the car to implement, otherwise it is also a violation of traffic rules.
Children under the age of 12 are not allowed to ride at point 3.
Because the instability and insecurity of electric vehicles are relatively high, the new regulations are also explicitly promulgated to prohibit children under 12 years old from riding electric vehicles. Not only that, but children under the age of 12 are also prohibited from riding electric vehicles.
