How many kilometers does a car travel per hour?
2 Answers
A car travels approximately 60 kilometers per hour, based on the current popular average speed in China. A train travels about 90 kilometers per hour, a bicycle about 15 kilometers per hour, and an electric vehicle about 30 kilometers per hour. For high-speed rail trains, the speed is about 220 kilometers per hour, while cars on highways travel at about 110 kilometers per hour. According to the relevant provisions of the Road Traffic Safety Law Implementation Regulations, motor vehicles must not exceed the speed limits indicated by signs or markings on the road. On roads without speed limit signs or markings, motor vehicles must not exceed the following maximum speeds: 1. Roads without a central dividing line: urban roads at 30 kilometers per hour, highways at 40 kilometers per hour; 2. Roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction: urban roads at 50 kilometers per hour, highways at 70 kilometers per hour.
I've been driving a sedan to commute for several years, with an average speed of about 60-70 km/h in the city, which may drop below 40 during traffic jams. On the highway, it's normal to increase the speed to 110-120 km/h, and I dare not exceed the 120 km/h speed limit sign. When the weather is good and the road conditions are smooth, I can drive a bit faster, but in rain or fog, I have to slow down to around 80 km/h to ensure safety. High speeds can easily lead to accidents, and I've seen friends get speeding tickets. The car's design also affects speed; small-displacement engines become noisier when driven above 120 km/h. Driving requires flexible adjustments, and following the rules is key.
