How long does it take to drive 170 kilometers?

170 kilometers driving time calculation: Based on the highway speed limit of 120 km/h, driving 170 kilometers would take approximately 1 hour and 25 minutes. Travel speed: Travel speed refers to the average speed of vehicles on a specific road section. It is calculated by dividing the length of the road section by the pure driving time (travel time after deducting all stopping time), used to analyze the ease of driving and traffic capacity of that road section. Impact of vehicle speed on road surface damage: The proportion of large vehicles in transportation is increasing, and vehicle overloading is very common. These overloaded vehicles typically drive at lower speeds on highways, causing significantly more damage to road surfaces than standard axle loads. This leads to premature road damage, accelerates the deterioration of road performance, and greatly shortens the service life of pavement.
I often drive on highways, frequently covering distances like 170 kilometers. The speed limit on highways is 120 km/h, but you can't maintain that speed the whole way—you have to slow down in tunnels or heavy traffic. On average, it's about 100 km/h, so 170 kilometers takes roughly 1 hour and 40 minutes. That doesn’t account for traffic at highway entrances or rest stops, so in reality, it’s safer to budget around two hours. If the weather is bad, like during rain, the travel time will be even longer.
