Is 40 km/h Fast?
1 Answers
Speed is relative and depends on the road conditions under which the vehicle is driving. It can be broadly categorized into urban roads, rural roads, and highways. Urban Road Driving: On roads with only one motor lane in the same direction, the maximum speed is 50 km/h, making 40 km/h relatively fast. On roads without a centerline, the maximum speed is 30 km/h, and at intersections, turns, or during adverse weather conditions, the speed must not exceed 15 km/h. In these cases, 40 km/h would be considered speeding. Rural Road Driving: The maximum speed on rural roads should not exceed 40 km/h. Highway Driving: Highways must indicate lane speeds, with a maximum speed not exceeding 120 km/h and a minimum speed not below 60 km/h. Therefore, driving at 40 km/h would be considered a low-speed violation.
