Is driving at 60 km/h at a traffic light intersection considered speeding under the new traffic regulations?

The new traffic regulations do not explicitly specify the maximum speed limit when passing through an intersection. If the speed limit for that section of the road is 60 km/h or below, driving at 60 km/h is not considered speeding. Drivers should not exceed the speed limit of the road section when passing through a traffic light. Generally, the speed when passing through an intersection should be around 30-60 km/h. However, on the other hand, traffic rules or the subject one exam also clearly stipulate that drivers should slow down and yield to pedestrians when passing through intersections or crosswalks. If the speed is too high, it can easily lead to tragedies due to insufficient braking time. The following practices are safer when encountering an intersection: 1. Slow down in advance: When approaching an intersection, drivers should slow down in advance, observe the road, and then pass through at a relatively low speed. 2. When passing through an intersection at night: Remember to switch from high beams to low beams. 3. Pay attention to pedestrian movements: Anticipate pedestrian actions in advance. 4. When turning at an intersection: If there are heavy vehicles like dump trucks or lorries on the outer side, smaller vehicles turning on the inner side should yield, as heavy vehicles have more blind spots.
