I screwed up today and accidentally cycled into the highway 9 tunnel. I need to report the police station in Suao tomorrow. Does anyone know the penalty? I feel bad for screwing up. ---

What was the reason? Were you stopped by a cop? If it’s because of poor or nonexistant signage or warnings, then it isn’t your fault. ---

Are we talking about provisional highway 9 right now? Last time I checked, all 450km of that road can be ridden from Taipei to Ping Tung on a bicycle without penalty. If you accidentally ridden into the new Suao tunnels where cars are only allowed, that could be a problem…only of you were pulled over. ---

It’s the new tunnels unfortunately… I forgot to check google maps and followed the shore line. I didn’t realize it would intertwine with the tunnel and went in. They didn’t write a fee on the ticket though and they did let me go afterwards, so I am not sure how serious it is. ---

Basically this. If he needs to report, he was obviously caught in person by police. The signage on the old coast road there is pretty shotty, so could probably win the yelling match. Not likely the new direct road you mentioned above. In that case say sorry, be the betta they so crave and forget about it. ---

You are not the first cyclist to accidentally ride onto places you were not supposed to go. Don’t sweat it. You’ll know better next time. ---

If I were to make a guess no fine probably means a stern taking to. If they wanted to fine you I’d suspect they would have been able to right away. ---

Once I was riding (motorcycle, red plate) from Taipei to Hualien, and by mistake I ended up in that big tunnel. At the end of the tunnel I had a handful of cops waiting for me, including 2 cars and 4 motorcycles. I stopped, I showed the google maps and I said I took the road by mistake. They just called a truck to remove my motorcycle from the highway and place it in a small road, so I rode back home. Nothing to worry, maximum you will pay a fee. ---
