Can You Slow Down on Highway Curves?
1 Answers
When encountering sharp turns on the highway at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour, the general speed limit is 60 km/h. You can also drive below the minimum speed limit when turning, but it's advisable not to go below 40 km/h. If you need to slow down, you must do so. More extended information is as follows: 1. Overview: A highway, also known as a freeway, is a road specifically designed for high-speed vehicle traffic. The definition of a highway varies across different countries, regions, eras, and academic fields. According to China's "Technical Standards for Highway Engineering," a highway is defined as a multi-lane road exclusively for directional and lane-based vehicle traffic, with full access control. The average annual daily traffic volume for highways should ideally exceed 15,000 passenger cars, with a design speed ranging from 80 to 120 kilometers per hour. 2. Others: Different countries and regions have their own construction standards for highways, and there is no unified model. Highway systems vary between countries and regions, with some including direct arterial roads that have partial access control or non-full interchange sections as part of their highway networks.
