Is the middle lane in a three-lane road considered the fast lane or the slow lane?
1 Answers
For roads with three or more lanes in the same direction: the leftmost lane is the fast lane, the middle lane is the travel lane, and the rightmost lane is the slow lane. Speed regulations on highways: The speed in the fast lane is generally required to be between 80km/h and 120km/h; the speed in the slow lane is generally required to be between 60km/h and 100km/h. The average speed on the highway should not be lower than 60km/h. If you must slow down due to a malfunction, you can signal and change lanes to call for help. The normal distance between vehicles is generally around 15m to 20m, as speeds on highways are high, and braking may not be timely. This ensures you can react in case of an emergency stop. Precautions on highways: Strictly distinguish the functions of each lane and drive in the designated lane. Generally, drive in the main travel lane, and only use the overtaking lane when passing other vehicles to ensure smooth traffic flow. Strictly adhere to speed limits, as speeding can easily lead to accidents. Driving too slowly may obstruct other vehicles. Reduce speed accordingly when driving in rain or snowy conditions. Maintain a safe following distance. Under normal conditions, with dry pavement and good braking, the following distance (in meters) should not be less than the speed (in km/h).
