Shenzhen Road Traffic
- There are over 800,000 registered private vehicles inside Shenzhen
- This number is increasing by over 6,000 cars a month.
- Motorcycles aren’t allowed in Shenzhen.
- The average number of cars per 100 households was 21.5 in 2004.
If you thought the traffic in Shenzhen was bad, just wait for a couple more years. But at least there won’t be any more public minibuses, or so the government has announced about 200 times in the last 5 years with no changes whatsoever…
Breath tests for drink drivers are something of a rarity in Shenzhen. After all, how do you tell the difference between a drunk driver and a normal driver? They both drive like suicidal maniacs.
Being caught for drink driving in Shenzhen carries a 500 RMB fine and suspension of your licence for a month.
