Is the speed limit of 80 km/h on the He-Da Expressway accurate?
2 Answers
He-Da Expressway's speed limit of 80 km/h is accurate. The section speed measurement is 80 km/h, tunnels are 80 km/h, and other sections can reach 120 km/h. Below are relevant speed limit information: 1. For roads without a center line, the speed limit is 30 km/h for urban roads and 40 km/h for highways; 2. For roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the speed limit is 50 km/h for urban roads and 70 km/h for highways; 3. On expressways, the maximum speed for small passenger vehicles shall not exceed 120 km/h, other motor vehicles shall not exceed 100 km/h, motorcycles shall not exceed 80 km/h, and the minimum speed shall not be lower than 60 km/h.
Regarding whether the speed limit of 80 km/h on the Heida Expressway is accurate, I must say, as a seasoned driver with years of experience, I've driven on many expressway sections, including parts of the Heida Expressway. Expressway speed limits are not uniformly set nationwide; they vary by section. For example, in mountainous areas, near tunnel entrances, or on winding roads, a speed limit of 80 km/h is quite common due to complex road conditions and safety considerations requiring reduced speeds. Once, while driving through the Harbin section, my navigation showed a speed limit of 80, and the actual road signs also indicated 80, especially strictly enforced in accident-prone zones. However, not the entire expressway is like this—some flat sections may have limits of 100 or 120 km/h, so don’t assume 80 applies everywhere. When driving, always pay attention to roadside signs or use a navigation app for updates, as speeding tickets are quite bothersome. In poor weather, an 80 km/h limit is even more reasonable—maintaining a safe distance is far more important than rushing. Developing good habits saves both hassle and trouble.
