Is it illegal to retrograde at the entrance of the community?

Driving in the opposite direction does not violate traffic regulations. In China's "Regulations on Road Traffic Safety Management", if it is in a closed residential area, social vehicles are not allowed to enter at this time, or if a car accident occurs in this area according to the strict registration system, it is not a road traffic accident, and the traffic police department in China has no right to deal with it. It should be handled by the local police station in the jurisdiction according to public security cases. At present, the one-way street in the residential area is generally set by the property and other departments themselves, and the vehicle can temporarily not be punished according to the traffic law after breaking into the one-way street. Retrograde in the community is not a traffic violation.

According to the Road Traffic Safety Law, "road" refers to roads, urban roads and places where social motor vehicles are allowed to pass, including squares, public parking lots and other places for the public to pass. According to its use characteristics, it is divided into highways, urban roads, factory and mine roads, forest roads and rural roads. The passage in a closed community is not the road referred to in the Road Traffic Safety Law. According to the relevant laws and regulations, a traffic accident in a closed community cannot be judged according to the provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law, so both parties can only choose to settle by themselves or be handled by an insurance company. If there is a traffic accident in the community due to retrograde, the staff of the insurance company said that in case of such an accident, it is generally recommended that both parties negotiate, and if the negotiation fails, they will choose to call the police. Traffic signs in residential areas have no legal effect, and property companies have no right to punish violations of traffic signs. If there is a traffic accident, only the "perpetrator" can be investigated for civil liability.
