Is there section speed control on Xinlu Expressway?
2 Answers
Nowadays, section speed control is basically implemented nationwide on expressways. Introduction to Emergency Lane: The emergency lane on expressways refers to the part adjacent to the right traffic lane, including the hard shoulder, with a width of more than 3 meters and an effective length greater than or equal to 30 meters, which can meet the needs of vehicle parking. Precautions for Parking in Emergency Lane: If you do encounter problems such as vehicle failure that cannot be resolved, you should park the vehicle in the emergency stopping area, turn on the hazard warning lights, place a warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle, and during night, rain, fog, and other weather conditions, also turn on the side marker lights, tail lights, and rear fog lights; other passengers must move to a safe area, and if necessary, call the expressway emergency number promptly to request assistance.
I've been driving long-distance for over a decade, frequently traveling on highways in Shandong, including the Xinlu Expressway area. Based on my actual experience, this expressway does indeed have an average speed measurement system, especially on sections with significant elevation changes, like areas near mountains. The system mainly uses cameras to record your entry and exit times, calculates your average speed, and immediately captures violations if you're speeding. I've personally used navigation apps like Gaode Maps, which provide real-time alerts about speed camera locations – extremely helpful. For safety, I recommend everyone develop the habit of staying within speed limits and not pushing for speed. The Xinlu Expressway has heavy traffic, and average speed monitoring not only catches speeding but also reduces rear-end collision risks. Additionally, there are temporary monitoring in highway maintenance zones, so extra caution is needed when driving at night. In short, knowing the road conditions well is crucial.
