How much can you exceed the 120 km/h average speed limit?
2 Answers
You can exceed the 120 km/h average speed limit by 10%. Here are specific details about average speed measurement: 1. Definition: Average speed measurement involves setting up two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section. The system calculates the average speed of a vehicle over that section based on the time it takes to pass between the two points. It then determines if the vehicle has exceeded the speed limit for that section, and displays the information of speeding vehicles on LED screens in real-time to notify and warn drivers. 2. System Introduction: The average speed measurement system uses cameras installed at checkpoints to establish a monitoring and capture system. It monitors and photographs vehicles passing through the checkpoint area in real-time to collect information such as vehicle speed, traffic flow, license plate numbers, color, approximate physical size, and driver characteristics.
After driving for so many years, I know very well that you absolutely must not speed recklessly in sections with an average speed limit of 120 km/h. Average speed control is calculated by cameras at the start and end points. If your average speed exceeds 120 km/h for the entire stretch, even by just 123 or 125 km/h, a ticket may come your way. Last month on the G4 highway, I averaged 122 km/h, slightly over the limit, and ended up with a 200-yuan fine and penalty points. Some say there’s a 10% tolerance, but don’t believe this myth—in reality, the police system is extremely strict with average speed checks, with frighteningly small margins for error. Safety first: I recommend using cruise control at 118 or 119 km/h, leaving a little room for speed fluctuations to avoid accidental fines. Speeding also increases accident risks—longer braking distances mean you might regret it if something unexpected happens. Staying within the speed limit is the best way to take responsibility for yourself.
