How much over the speed limit is driving at 70 in a 60 zone?
1 Answers
Driving at 70 in a 60 zone exceeds the speed limit by 25%. Under normal circumstances without causing serious consequences, no penalty points will be deducted. According to the Guidelines on Standardizing the Investigation and Handling of Traffic Violations Involving Motor Vehicles Exceeding Speed Limits issued by the Ministry of Public Security, on roads with speed limits below 60 km/h, exceeding the speed limit by less than 50% will not result in penalties, but traffic police may issue a warning. The determination of speed limits is not solely based on the number of lanes but is specifically assessed according to factors such as road grade, traffic volume, road width, and the presence of median barriers. For first-class highways, speed limits can be set between 60 and 100 km/h depending on specific conditions; for second-class highways, between 40 and 80 km/h.
