Over 2m bike riding offenses punished
Print Edition
RUNNING red lights, giving illegal lifts to adult passengers, and cutting across traffic lanes are some of the major causes of bike accidents causing injuries and deaths this year, Shanghai traffic police said yesterday.
Traffic accidents involving “non-motor vehicles” — bicycles, e-bikes, mopeds, motorbikes and scooters — leading to injuries and deaths accounted for 60 percent of all such accidents that took place in Shanghai this year, police said.
Traffic police citywide have so far punished riders for 2.32 million offenses of 3.8 million offenses recorded in total.
About 180,000 offenses concerned going the wrong direction on a one-way lane, and there were 76,000 cases of riding through a red light.
Offenses by bike riders and pedestrians have been targeted by traffic police in recent weeks, with more police officers assigned to monitor the city’s busy crossroads.
Traffic police officers and traffic assistants are being stationed in streets where non-motor vehicles are banned and at entrances to tunnels and bridges over Huangpu River where bikes are also prohibited.
Police warn that any e-bikes found to be without a proper registration plate will be seized on site and not returned until the owner of the bike gets a plate.
