How much can you exceed the 120 speed limit in a section speed measurement?

[TylerMarie]

In a 120 speed limit section speed measurement, you can exceed the limit by 10%. Below are specific details about section speed measurement: 1. Definition: Section 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 violated the speed limit, displaying real-time traffic violation information on LED screens to notify and warn offending vehicles. 2. System Introduction: The section speed measurement system uses cameras installed at checkpoints to establish a monitoring and capture system. It monitors, captures, and records vehicles passing through the checkpoint area in real-time, collecting data such as vehicle speed, traffic flow, license plate numbers, color, approximate physical dimensions, and driver characteristics.

A speed limit of 120 in a section means your average speed over that stretch shouldn't exceed 120 km/h. Once on the highway, I specifically watched the dashboard. There's no such thing as 'allowed speeding'—even 1 km over is speeding. But in actual enforcement, there's some leniency; most regions don't penalize if you're within 10% over, meaning under 132 km/h might be fine. Still, don't push your luck, especially if you're a new driver—better to play it safe. Maintaining 120 km/h throughout is safest, as section speed control calculates your entry and exit time difference and snaps a photo if you're over. I recommend using navigation alerts to avoid crossing the line.

The allowable speed for a 120 km/h average speed check zone depends on specific enforcement standards. Traffic laws clearly state that speeding is illegal, but in practice many areas allow a 10% buffer zone, meaning you might not get penalized below 132 km/h. The key is understanding that average speed zones calculate your mean speed - if you drive 140 km/h in the first section, you'll need to slow to 100 km/h later to balance the average. I always use cruise control set at 118 km/h on highways - it's both fuel-efficient and safe. If you really want to accelerate, don't exceed 125 km/h, otherwise you'll bear full responsibility in case of an accident.

The 120 km/h average speed limit for section control means your overall speed must not exceed 120 km/h for the entire stretch. While regulations strictly prohibit speeding, enforcement has gray areas - some provinces issue warnings without fines for exceeding up to 10%, effectively allowing around 132 km/h. But don't mistake this as permission. A friend who constantly flirted with the speed limit got 6 penalty points that year. The safest approach is monitoring your speedometer throughout or using cruise control. Remember, section control precisely calculates time differences - every minute gained entering early must be offset by driving slower later.
