There is no mandatory requirement for vehicles to drive above 80 km/h on highways. The specific speed should refer to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China" and local speed limit signs. Highway regulations stipulate: Article 78: According to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," highways shall indicate lane driving speeds. The maximum speed shall not exceed 120 km/h, and the minimum speed shall not be lower than 60 km/h. The maximum speed for small passenger cars on highways shall not exceed 120 km/h, other motor vehicles shall not exceed 100 km/h, and motorcycles shall not exceed 80 km/h. Precautions for vehicle traffic accidents: In the event of a traffic accident on a highway, the driver should promptly signal danger to following vehicles, immediately turn on the hazard warning lights, and at night, also turn on the width marker lights and tail lights. The driver and passengers must quickly move to the right shoulder or emergency stopping lane, place a warning sign at least 100 meters behind the accident vehicle, and immediately report to the traffic police or highway monitoring room via emergency phone, briefly describing the following: accident location, time, condition (collision, rollover, or fire, etc.), scale, and casualties. Other personnel should take measures to rescue the injured and protect the scene. If there are injured individuals requiring immediate hospital treatment, they may signal for help from passing vehicles but must not attempt to forcibly stop vehicles or rescue the injured on the driving lane themselves.
