Does speeding at the entrance of an average speed check zone count as speeding?
1 Answers
Speeding at the starting point of an average speed check zone does not constitute a traffic violation. Average speed check zones are established by setting up two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section. The principle is to calculate the average speed of a vehicle on that road section based on the time it takes to pass between the two monitoring points, and then determine whether the vehicle has exceeded the speed limit according to the standard set for that section. Below are relevant details: 1. Average speed check system: This system involves setting up cameras at checkpoints to establish a monitoring and photographing system. It conducts real-time monitoring and photographing of vehicles passing through the checkpoint monitoring area to obtain information such as the vehicle's speed, traffic flow, license plate number, color, approximate physical size, and driver characteristics. This information is then transmitted via a network to the public security traffic command center and the traffic control sub-center's database for data storage, query, comparison, and other processing. 2. Regulations: According to Article 78 of the 'Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China', highways must indicate the speed limit for each lane. The maximum speed must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed must not be less than 60 kilometers per hour. On highways, the maximum speed for small passenger cars must not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, for other motor vehicles it must not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and for motorcycles, it must not exceed 80 kilometers per hour.
