"The Beijing New Traffic Law Implementation Manual" was compiled and published to thoroughly promote the "Measures." In addition to including the full text of this new regulation, the book also collects practical information such as penalties and point systems for traffic violations, standards for rapid handling of traffic accidents, and vehicle inspection, management, and accident handling agencies. It is hoped that by strengthening the public's understanding and awareness of the new regulation, citizens' awareness of the law and compliance will be enhanced, contributing to the formation of a good traffic environment for "New Beijing, New Olympics."
