Is driving at 100 in an 80-speed-limited tunnel considered speeding?
2 Answers
Tunnel speed limit is 80, driving at 100 is definitely speeding. Here are the specific details: Introduction: If there is a sign in the tunnel indicating a speed limit of 80km/h for the upcoming section, then drivers must not exceed 80km/h. When the speed limit is 80km/h, driving at 90km/h means exceeding the limit by 12.5%, which is already over 10%. Average speed measurement: Many drivers fail to notice warning signs before entering tunnels. Upon seeing a 120km/h speed limit sign at the tunnel entrance, they maintain 120km/h throughout or only slow down in speed camera zones. Some even miss the average speed measurement signs. In average speed measurement sections, the average speed must be below the posted limit to avoid violations.
Hi, I remember having extensive driving experience before. If the tunnel speed limit is 80 and you drive at 100, you're definitely exceeding the limit by 20 km/h, which is a 25% overage. In tunnels, visibility is limited, lighting is dim, and ventilation is poor. High speeds can easily lead to loss of control. I've witnessed tunnel accident scenes where rescue operations were difficult—time is of the essence. I recommend checking the speed limit signs before entering a tunnel and using cruise control for added safety. Make it a habit to control your speed, not just to avoid fines and penalty points, but primarily for safety first—taking responsibility for yourself and your family.
