No. According to Article 78 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", highways should indicate the speed limits for each lane. The maximum speed should not exceed 120 km/h, and the minimum speed should not be lower than 60 km/h. For small passenger cars, the maximum speed on highways should not exceed 120 km/h, for other motor vehicles it should not exceed 100 km/h, and for motorcycles it should not exceed 80 km/h. Additional information: For two lanes in the same direction, the minimum speed for the left lane is 100 km/h; for three or more lanes in the same direction, the minimum speeds are 110 km/h for the leftmost lane, 90 km/h for the middle lane. If the speed indicated by road speed limit signs differs from the above lane-specific speed limits, drivers should follow the speed indicated by the road signs.
