A 360-kilometer journey on the highway, calculated at the maximum speed limit of 120 km/h, would take approximately 3 hours. Here are some key points about highway speed limits: 1. Maximum speed: Highways must indicate the speed limits for each lane. The maximum speed should not exceed 120 km/h, and the minimum speed should not be lower than 60 km/h. For small passenger vehicles, the maximum speed on highways is 120 km/h, while other motor vehicles are limited to 100 km/h, and motorcycles to 80 km/h. 2. Minimum speed: According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," on highways with two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h. For highways with three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the far-left lane is 110 km/h, the middle lane is 90 km/h, and the right lane is 60 km/h. If the speed limits indicated by road signs differ from these lane-specific regulations, drivers should adhere to the speed limits marked on the road signs.
How long does it take to drive 360 kilometers? It all depends on road conditions and speed. I remember last year when I went on a long-distance trip, averaging 100 kilometers per hour on the highway, it took about 3 and a half hours. But with some traffic congestion and breaks in between, it stretched to 4 hours. Speed is crucial: maintaining a steady 90 km/h would take 4 hours, while city driving at lower speeds could extend it to over 5 hours. It's advisable to check navigation in advance to avoid peak hours, bring some drinks and snacks, and ensure your car's tires and tire pressure are in good condition to avoid delays. Safety first—don't drive fatigued. This distance isn't too far, but it's not something to take lightly either. Staying alert is the most important thing.
In my driving experience, a 360-kilometer journey usually takes 3-4 hours. If I can maintain 120 km/h on the highway, it takes just over 3 hours; but reality always has variables, like slowing down due to slippery roads in rainy weather, or queues at toll stations plus breaks, which can easily extend the time. Don't overlook traffic volume: rush hours in the morning and evening take more time, so it's best to choose off-peak hours for departure. Fill up the fuel tank in advance to avoid stops along the way, and keep the navigation updated with real-time traffic. Make it a habit to check the car lights and brakes to ensure safety and peace of mind. Although long-distance driving is fast, fatigue can set in easily, so splitting the trip into two segments is more comfortable.
