The road and the tickets · 2026-04

Whether a heavy motorcycle can use the freeway depends on the engine size, and on which sections are open that day.

Not every red plate can use every national freeway. The fine and the points are whatever the article says right now.

A picture of the kind of moment. Not a photo from that case.

Large heavy motorcycles run under the traffic act, and under the sections and hours the Ministry of Transportation posts. The picture people keep discussing: the bigger ones are still not open on every freeway, and some sections (Freeway 3A is the one that keeps coming up) are open, with conditions, to large heavy motorcycles above a smaller size. The notice changes. Before you ride on, read the current list. Don't trust an old post.

Riding onto a section that isn't open is a ticket. It stays separate from fault if there's a crash. Compulsory insurance and the fault split don't change because you feel the road ought to have been open.

What you can do first

  1. 01Before you leave, check the open sections with the Ministry of Transportation or the Freeway Bureau.
  2. 02If a ticket shows up, look at the appeal deadline. Don't only photograph it and complain.
  3. 03A crash still needs the video and the insurance card.

Rewritten in my own words. Not a judgment and not a law firm's article. If a number shows up, it belonged to that public discussion, not to you. Check the Judicial Yuan judgment system. These started as public discussions of car crashes. I rewrote them here. Not a law firm's article.

I'm not a lawyer, and I'm not a mediator. I can't decide this for you. The statute that counts is the one still in force. Judgments live on the Judicial Yuan site.
