Is the entire Rilan Expressway limited to 100 km/h?
2 Answers
Rilan Expressway is not entirely limited to 100 km/h. The section of Rilan Expressway from the 17 km to 21 km mark of the Rizhao Reservoir Bridge has a speed limit of 90 km/h in both directions (previously 80 km/h, the specific speed limit is subject to roadside signs). This section is a high-incidence area for speeding. Below is relevant information about speed limits: 1. Concept: Speed limits are imposed to maintain normal, stable, and safe production order and operational processes, placing necessary speed restrictions on various mechanical and electrical equipment and manual operations. The primary purpose is to preemptively remind drivers to control their speed reasonably in subsequent sections of the road ahead and to prevent the dangers of speeding. Speed limits are an indispensable and most crucial aspect of road transport safety. 2. Speed limit conventions: Relevant regulations are stipulated in the "Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," with authoritative references in the "Technical Standards 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 standards, and flexibly adjusted based on real-world conditions.
I've driven on this Rilan Expressway many times. The speed limit isn't fixed at 100 km/h for the entire route—it depends on the specific section. For example, on the stretch from Rizhao to Qufu, the limit is 120 km/h on flat sections but drops to 100 km/h in mountainous areas or tunnels to prevent accidents. Once, I didn't notice the tunnel speed limit and got fined for slightly exceeding it—a painful lesson. Overall, this expressway spans over 300 kilometers, with temporary speed limit adjustments to 80 or 100 km/h in construction zones or curves. I recommend paying attention to roadside signs or navigation alerts and prioritizing safety by following the rules. If you stick to 100 km/h the whole way, it might be slower but steadier, making long-distance driving less exhausting. Remember, don’t assume a single speed limit—check section by section for the most reliable info.
