Is it possible to exceed the speed limit in an average speed check zone?

It is not allowed to exceed the speed limit in an average speed check zone. Average speed check zone: This refers to a method of measuring the average speed of motor vehicles passing through a section of road (speed check zone) between two adjacent speed monitoring points. For example, if the distance of a speed check zone on a highway is 10 kilometers and the speed limit for that section is 120 kilometers per hour, a vehicle must take 5 minutes or more to complete the section to maintain an average speed below 120 kilometers per hour, thus complying with the speed limit. If the vehicle completes the section in less than 5 minutes, it is considered to have exceeded the speed limit. Speed measurement system: The so-called average speed check zone involves setting up two adjacent monitoring points on the same road section, while real-time traffic violation vehicle information is displayed on LED screens to notify offending vehicles and warn other vehicles.
Interval speed measurement is a speed monitoring method on highways. It uses two point cameras to record your passing time, then calculates the average speed. I pay special attention to this while driving because speeding is never worth it – even if you go a few minutes faster in between, exceeding the average speed limit could result in a fine. I've personally seen friends get penalized with points and fines on the highway, with their cars impounded for months. What's worse, speeding doubles the chance of accidents, especially when roads are slippery during rain. I recommend using GPS or cruise control to help maintain speed – it's both safer and saves money. Habitually obeying speed limits also makes your car more fuel-efficient and cost-effective in the long run, truly a win-win. In short, the interval speed measurement system is designed strictly – don't try to find loopholes, driving obediently is the safest bet.
