Is the 80km/h speed limit on He'an Expressway strictly enforced?
2 Answers
The 80km/h speed limit on He'an Expressway is not real; the actual speed limit is 120km/h. Below is relevant information about speed limits: 1. Introduction to speed limits: Speed limits generally refer to the regulation of vehicle speeds within a certain range over a specified distance. The primary purpose is to preemptively alert drivers to control their speed appropriately in subsequent sections of the road and prevent the dangers of speeding. Speed limits are an indispensable and most crucial aspect of road transport safety. 2. Common practices for speed limits: The basis for speed limits on Chinese roads primarily includes national laws (relevant regulations), engineering standards (traffic literature), and actual road conditions (real-world environment). The relevant regulation is the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," and the authoritative literature is the "Technical Standard for Highway Engineering." The reality is that the overall public awareness of traffic safety still needs improvement. Actual speed limits are absolutely premised on legal documents, referenced against traffic literature, and flexibly adjusted based on real-world conditions.
Having driven on highways for so many years, I often take the He’an Expressway. The speed limit of 80 km/h is strictly enforced with cameras, especially on curves and mountainous sections. The cameras are quite hidden—some under bridges or on utility poles. If you exceed the speed limit by more than 10%, it automatically snaps a photo. Last month, I accidentally drove at 95 km/h and received a ticket two weeks later—3 points deducted and a 200-yuan fine. It was a profound lesson. Now, I use a navigation app to set speed alerts, but honestly, safety comes first. Staying within the limit saves a lot of trouble and keeps my family at ease. In construction zones or bad weather, speed control is even more crucial. These cameras aren’t just for show—they’re actively working.
