The Shanghai City Public Security Bureau issued a notice today that in order to better serve and ensure the development of urban freight distribution and improve freight distribution efficiency, in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China, ** decided to adjust the traffic management measures for some medium-sized vans ***.

** From now on, medium-sized vans with a vehicle length of no more than 6 meters, a width of no more than 2.2 meters, and a height of no more than 2.8 meters will enjoy the same right of way for light trucks. Other medium-sized vans traffic management measures will still be implemented in accordance with on-site traffic signs. **

Vehicle models that meet the above conditions and have a total mass that exceeds the carrying capacity and traffic height limits of bridges and elevated roads are not allowed to enter the relevant roads.

The relevant interpretation is here

Question 1:What specific model does "a medium van with a vehicle length of no more than 6 meters, a width of no more than 2.2 meters, and a height of no more than 2.8 meters" refer to?

a:The three parameters of "vehicle length","width" and "height" do not exceed the above values, and the vehicle driving license is registered as a medium van.

Question 2:How to understand "equal right of way"?

a:The so-called equal right-of-way means that qualified medium vans and light trucks can pass through the same time periods, sections and areas. For example, a certain section of the road is equipped with a "No Large Number Plate Truck" sign, which means that large Number Plate Truck and large New Energy Vehicle Number Plate Truck are prohibited on the section (That is, trucks with yellow license plates and yellow-green license plates, and the corresponding models are heavy and medium trucks), light trucks are allowed to pass. After the issuance of this notice, qualified medium vans can also pass on this section; a certain section has a "No Truck Traffic" sign, which means that all trucks are prohibited from passing on this section. After the issuance of this notice, qualified medium vans cannot enter this section.

Question 3:Do eligible medium vans need to declare to enjoy the same right of way for light trucks?

a:After the issuance of this notice, eligible vehicles do not need to declare and confirm and directly enjoy the convenience policy.

Question 4:What restrictions should I pay attention to for qualified medium vans?

a:In response to special circumstances such as insufficient carrying capacity of individual bridges and elevated roads, relevant departments will specially set up signs such as tonnage limit and height limit for bridges and elevated roads. While eligible medium-sized vans enjoy the same convenience as light trucks, they should also pay attention to and abide by on-site traffic signs.
