Yulin County Motorcycle Control Inspection and Exhaust Emission Test Station Management Plan is aimed at motorcycle control operations within the county’s jurisdiction whether the motorcycle has completed regular inspections. By strengthening roadside inspections, roadside block inspections, and performing free motorcycle exhaust emission inspection promotional activities, and assisting the Department of Environmental Protection to inspect private motorcycle regular inspection stations, etc., through the execution of these measures, it is possible to urge vehicle users to strengthen maintenance and to educate motorcycle drivers on the correct maintenance concept, thereby reducing the pollution of motorcycle exhaust emissions and effectively maintaining air quality.
