Is the minimum speed on highways 60 or 80?

The minimum speed on highways is 60 km/h. If the weather conditions on the highway are poor, the driving speed of the vehicle should be further reduced. The maximum driving speed on highways should not exceed 120 km/h. A highway refers to a road with an annual average daily passenger car traffic volume of more than 25,000 vehicles, specifically designed for high-speed driving in separate lanes with full access control. Vehicles driving on highways are required to follow speed-specific lanes, as highways can accommodate speeds of 120 km/h or even higher. The road surface has a width of four or more lanes, with a central divider installed, prohibiting pedestrians and non-motorized vehicles from traveling on the road. The entire route is closed with controlled access points, allowing vehicles to enter and exit the highway at designated interchanges. Drivers are required to pay highway tolls according to the distance traveled by the vehicle.
After driving for so many years, the minimum speed limit on highways is basically 60 kilometers per hour, which is to ensure smooth traffic and safety. If you drive too slowly, say below 60, you're likely to get rear-ended or cause congestion, especially in the fast lane, which is even more dangerous. I remember once on the G4 highway, a car was driving at 40 and almost caused an accident, and the police even came to issue a fine. So under normal circumstances, the leftmost lane might require speeds above 100, but the overall lower limit is 60. Of course, some mountainous highways or special sections may have signs indicating different speed limits, such as a minimum of 80, but those are rare cases. Generally, it's recommended to maintain a speed between 80 and 100, which is neither too slow to annoy others nor too fast to get fined. Also, beginners shouldn't be nervous; just gradually get used to the speed. If you encounter heavy rain or fog, you can drive a bit slower, but remember to turn on your hazard lights to alert others.
