Is the speed limit on the Daguang Expressway 100 or 120?
2 Answers
The design speed of the Daqing Expressway is 80-120 km/h, with expressway tunnels having a speed limit set at 80 km/h based on the design speed. The maximum speed for small passenger vehicles is 120 km/h, and the minimum speed is 60 km/h; for other motor vehicles, the maximum speed is 100 km/h, and the minimum speed is 60 km/h. The speed limits for special sections of the Daqing Expressway are as follows: 1. On the Daguang Expressway from the Huanggangbei provincial boundary to the Hubei-Jiangxi-Hunan provincial boundary: the speed limit for small passenger vehicles has been increased from the original 100 km/h to 120 km/h, while the speed limit for other motor vehicles has been increased from the original 80 km/h to 100 km/h; 2. In the Xingtai section of the Daqing Expressway: the maximum speed limit for small passenger vehicles is 120 km/h, the speed limit for hazardous material vehicles is 80 km/h, passenger vehicles have a speed limit of 80 km/h from 22:00 to 05:00 at night, and the maximum speed limit for other vehicles is 100 km/h.
I've been driving for many years and often take the Daguang Expressway, where the speed limit is generally 120 kilometers per hour. However, in some special sections like mountainous areas or tunnels, it drops to 100 or even lower. I remember last time near the Beijing-Hebei border, due to the complex terrain, the speed limit sign suddenly changed to 100. Luckily, I slowed down in time, otherwise it could have easily led to an accident. Expressway speed limits aren't fixed; during bad weather or peak hours, traffic police may make temporary adjustments. I recommend using a navigation app as soon as you get in the car—it gives real-time updates on speed limit changes. Driving safety is the top priority; don't blindly chase speed. Following the rules helps avoid trouble and saves on fuel costs. This advice is quite practical for beginners.
