Is there an 80 km/h speed limit on highways?
1 Answers
Highways have a speed limit of 80 km/h. Driving at speeds slightly above 80 km/h constitutes speeding and may result in camera enforcement penalties. Relevant regulations stipulate that highways must clearly mark speed limits for each lane, with maximum speeds not exceeding 120 km/h and minimum speeds not falling below 60 km/h. Additional information regarding penalty points for ordinary vehicles outside highways is as follows: 1. Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10% incurs no penalty. 2. Exceeding the speed limit by 10-20% results in a 50 RMB fine and 3 penalty points. 3. Exceeding by 20-30% carries a 50 RMB fine and 6 points. 4. Exceeding by 30-50% warrants a 200 RMB fine and 6 points. 5. Speeding 50-70% over the limit incurs a 1,000 RMB fine, 12 points, and possible license suspension. 6. Exceeding the speed limit by over 70% results in a 2,000 RMB fine, 12 points, and potential license revocation.
