How much can you exceed the speed limit on highway interval speed measurement?
2 Answers
Highway interval speed measurement allows exceeding the speed limit by 10%. No penalty will be imposed for exceeding the speed limit within 10% on highway intervals. Relevant introduction about highway interval speed measurement is as follows: Introduction to highway interval speed measurement: The so-called interval speed measurement refers to the method of detecting the average speed of motor vehicles passing through the road section (speed measurement interval) between two adjacent speed measurement monitoring points. For example, the speed limit range of a certain highway section is 10 kilometers, and the speed limit of this section is 120 kilometers per hour. If the vehicle travels for 5 minutes or more, its average speed will be lower than 120 kilometers per hour, meeting the speed limit requirements. Precautions for driving with interval speed measurement: Check the vehicle condition before driving and plan in advance, fasten the seat belt after getting on the car, drive according to the lane speed limit on the highway, maintain a safe distance between vehicles, drive into the nearest service area to rest when tired, and avoid fatigue driving.
Regarding highway section speed monitoring, based on my experience, don't even think about exceeding the limit. The speed limit, say 120 kilometers per hour, is a rigorously tested safe speed. Even a slight overspeed increases braking distance and accident probability. Section speed monitoring calculates the average speed over the entire stretch, not instantaneous speed, so a temporary burst of acceleration won't help you evade it. The system usually has a 10% tolerance, meaning you might get a warning without penalty up to 132 km/h, but this doesn't mean speeding is encouraged. We should develop the habit of using cruise control to maintain a steady speed, which saves fuel, ensures safety, and avoids fines and accident risks. After all, every increase in speed reduces reaction time, posing a threat to pedestrians and other vehicles, especially dangerous on highways. Don't gamble with lives.
