How much over the speed limit is considered speeding in highway interval speed measurement?

On highways, interval speed measurement regulations consider exceeding the speed limit by 10% as speeding. If the speed is within 10% of the limit, no penalty is imposed, only a warning text message will be sent to the driver to remind them of the speeding violation, with no points deducted or fines issued. Highways should clearly mark the speed limits for each lane, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 kilometers per hour and the minimum speed not less than 60 kilometers per hour. The maximum speed for small passenger cars on highways should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, while other motor vehicles should not exceed 100 kilometers per hour, and motorcycles should not exceed 80 kilometers per hour. The following are the regulations regarding speeding for ordinary vehicles on highways: exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% will not result in penalties; exceeding the speed limit by 10% to less than 20% will incur a fine of 50 RMB and 3 penalty points; exceeding the speed limit by 20% to less than 30% will incur a fine of 50 RMB and 6 penalty points; exceeding the speed limit by 30% to less than 50% will incur a fine of 200 RMB and 6 penalty points; exceeding the speed limit by 50% to less than 70% will incur a fine of 1000 RMB and 12 penalty points, with the possibility of driver's license suspension; exceeding the speed limit by 70% or more will incur a fine of 2000 RMB and 12 penalty points, with the possibility of driver's license suspension. If speeding occurs on urban roads with a speed limit of less than 50 kilometers per hour, exceeding the limit by 10% to less than 20% will only result in a fine without penalty points. However, exceeding the limit by 20% to less than 50% will incur 6 penalty points and a fine for the driver. Interval speed measurement refers to the setup of two monitoring points on the same road section. By calculating the time it takes for a vehicle to pass these two points, the average speed of the vehicle is determined to infer whether the vehicle is speeding. This is the most common method of speed measurement, and the high-definition cameras on highways can accurately capture the movement of vehicles. As long as a driver exceeds the speed limit, it is highly likely to be recorded by the cameras.
