Due to different driving environments in different countries, not all long tunnels allow motorcycles to ride through. In addition, the ratios for different vehicle type are also different in the long tunnels in other countries, as well as the design of the tunnel is usually two holes with dual lane. Therefore, the control strategy of vehicle type going through the long tunnel will not be exactly the same. As the result, we have to evaluate the traffic condition in Taiwan when planning and controlling the type of vehicle using Suhua Highway improvement Project in order to maintain the road safety for users.

Yes. While the original procedure requires a penalty notice to be issued four times, “one-time penalty” only requires it to be issued once. This not only shortens the schedule but also significantly reduces the costs for postage of AR registered mails.

The following is a brief description of how the deadline for a required appearance is set for adjudication under “one-time penalty:”
1. Deadline of fine payment: the deadline of fine payment is one month from the date of adjudication. For example, if the date of adjudication is May 20, 2006, the deadline of fine payment will be June 19, 2006.
2. Deadline of cancellation (revocation): in the event of failure to hand over any vehicle or driver’s license suspended by penalty, the vehicle or driver’s license will be revoked on the day following the deadline for its handover. For example, if the deadline for handover of the suspended vehicle or driver’s license is July 4, 2006, the vehicle or driver’s license will be revoked on the next day, namely July 5, 2006.
Where the penalty requires revocation of a vehicle or driver’s license, the vehicle or driver’s license will also be directly canceled.
