Is there a traffic restriction on highways?

Highways do not have traffic restrictions, but there are several points to note when driving on them: Control your speed: Highways have strict speed limits. According to national regulations, the maximum speed on highways should not exceed 120 kilometers per hour, and the minimum speed should not be lower than 60 kilometers per hour. Driving too fast increases the likelihood of traffic accidents, while driving too slow can obstruct following vehicles and reduce the efficiency of the highway. Maintain a safe distance: The following vehicle must keep a sufficient distance from the vehicle in front in the same lane to allow for valuable reaction time in case of emergencies. Visibility is lower at night, so additional distance should be maintained. Stay in your lane: Drivers should always pay attention to roadside and road markings. It is not allowed to straddle or drive on lane dividers, nor is it permitted to occupy the overtaking lane for an extended period.

I remember driving for the past ten years, and I've never encountered a license plate restriction on the highway. The highways have fewer cars and wider roads, unlike the constant traffic jams and restrictions in the city. Policies like these are usually implemented within cities, such as the tail number restrictions inside Beijing's Fifth Ring Road. Highways are almost always unrestricted unless there are special circumstances, like temporary controls during smoggy days or major events. Once, while driving on the Jingha Expressway, I came across a restriction notice, but it was announced a day in advance through radio or news broadcasts. When driving on the highway, the focus should be on safety—maintaining a speed under 120 km/h, taking breaks to avoid fatigue, and having an ETC pass ready to save time. Generally, no restrictions on highways are the norm, allowing for smooth and free travel, which is quite pleasant. However, it's important to stay updated with real-time traffic apps to avoid unexpected disruptions to your trip.

As a new driver who just got my license, I was curious and asked friends and checked information—there are no traffic restrictions based on license plate numbers on highways. Traffic restrictions mainly target congested urban areas. On highways, vehicles move at higher speeds with less dense traffic, so the government hasn’t implemented such rules. However, exceptions exist—for example, certain exit highways in Guangzhou may impose temporary restrictions to prevent pollution. Before entering a highway, I always check navigation apps for alerts to ensure no sudden changes. While driving, I stay focused and avoid using my phone—safety comes first. I also maintain proper tire pressure for better fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness. Highway travel should be relaxing, and the absence of plate-based restrictions makes trips smoother, but adhering to basic traffic rules is even more important.

I often commute by car, and there's never been a license plate restriction on highways. Traffic restrictions are implemented to address urban congestion and pollution, while highways are designed for fast travel, making such measures unnecessary. Special circumstances like heavy smog might lead to restrictions on certain sections, but that's rare. While driving, I'm more concerned about speeding or sudden braking, so I regularly check my braking system. Free travel on highways is the norm, so everyone can hit the road with peace of mind—just stay focused.
