What restrictions are not imposed on road maintenance vehicles?

When road maintenance vehicles are operating, their routes and directions are not restricted by traffic signs and markings. This regulation is intended to ensure that road maintenance vehicles can operate effectively while performing their duties without affecting the passage of other vehicles. Specifically, when road maintenance vehicles and engineering vehicles are operating, they can be exempted from the restrictions on vehicle lane separation without affecting the passage of passing vehicles, but they must not drive in the opposite direction. In addition, motor vehicles such as sprinklers and sweepers should operate in accordance with safety operation standards. Without affecting the passage of other vehicles, they can be exempted from the restrictions on vehicle lane separation, but they must not drive in the opposite direction.

This regulation reflects the recognition of the special nature of road maintenance vehicle operations, and also emphasizes that other vehicles and pedestrians should pay attention to avoidance to ensure safe and smooth traffic. It should be noted that although road maintenance vehicles enjoy a certain degree of freedom in their routes and directions when operating, this does not mean that they can violate basic traffic rules, such as driving speed and traffic light restrictions still need to be observed.
