[Reporter You Mingjin/Yilan Report] Motorcycle and bicycle owners in Yilan County, please note that from January 1 next year, all sidewalks or arcades with parking spaces must be parked in the parking spaces; violators will be fined 600 yuan to A fine of 1,200 yuan, and a fine of 300 to 600 yuan for bicycles.

However, the county government admitted frankly that the designation of parking spaces is not common at present, and it will continue to communicate with the township and municipal offices to assist in the designation.

If there is no parking space for unauthorized parking, if the traffic is affected, the police will report it according to the actual situation.

In March, the Yilan County Government released the "Implementation Points for the Order of Motorcycle and Bicycle Parking on Sidewalks and Staircases in Yilan County" to regulate the parking of motorcycles and bicycles on sidewalks and arcades, which will come into effect on January 1 next year.

Please read on...

According to this point, if the sidewalk or arcade has any of the following situations, parking spaces may be designated, and if necessary, it may be designated obliquely: 1. The width of the sidewalk is more than 3 meters, and parking is not prohibited; after marking the parking space, The clear width for pedestrians to pass is more than 1.5 meters.

2. There is no sidewalk on the outside of the arcade, or there is a sidewalk but it is not open for parking; after the parking grid is designated, the vertical clear width for pedestrians between the main entrance and exit of the building and the outer edge of the arcade must be more than 1 meter.

Motorcycle and bicycle drivers should park in the aforementioned parking spaces when parking on sidewalks or on arcades, and keep the front edge of the wheel close to its outer edge.

This regulation will come into effect on January 1 next year, that is to say, from the day after tomorrow, people who park on sidewalks or arcades must park in the parking spaces.

Violation of the regulations can result in a fine of 600 to 1,200 yuan for motorcycles and 300 to 600 yuan for bicycles.

However, since the promotion and promotion of this policy in March, the county government has called the township and city offices twice to discuss the demarcation of parking spaces; In practice, it is difficult to designate the storage requirements.

As for the part of the sidewalk that meets the designation standards, except for the Wenquan Road and Zhongshan Road in Jiaoxi Township that have been designated with parking spaces, the rest of the roads may have parking spaces on the roadside and off-street parking lots, so there is no need to designate parking spaces. After consultation Local opinions also believe that there are doubts and difficulties in the designation.

The County Government Traffic Department stated that the current parking space on the sidewalk leaves less than 1.5 meters of clear space for pedestrians to pass. In order to enhance the human-friendly environment, the new regulations specifically require that the passage space be reserved. Stores enter and exit vertically, so the workshop is required to leave a space with a vertical clear width of more than 1 meter. These regulations must be specifically drawn with parking spaces to have a basis for enforcement.

The traffic department said that if there are parking spaces designated, they must park in the parking spaces starting from January 1 next year, otherwise they can issue a bill and report. After the demarcation is completed, if parking without authorization and affecting traffic, the police will report according to the actual situation.
