Under what circumstances is the speed limit 20 kilometers per hour?

Speed limit of 20 km/h indicates that this section of the road is not an ordinary road section, or it may be a route frequently used by children from kindergartens or other schools, or an accident-prone road section. The following is relevant information about speed limits: 1. Introduction: Speed limit usually refers to the regulation of vehicle speed within a certain numerical range over a certain length of distance. In order to maintain normal, stable, safe, and reliable production order and activity processes, necessary speed restrictions are imposed on various mechanical and electrical equipment and their manual operations, so as to prevent various equipment from malfunctioning or causing accidents due to overload operation or other reasons. 2. Purpose: The main purpose is to remind drivers in advance to reasonably control the speed in the subsequent sections of the road ahead and prevent the danger of speeding. Speed limit is an indispensable and also the most important part of road transport safety.
I guess you're asking about the 20 km/h speed limit while driving, which is commonly seen near schools, especially during drop-off and pick-up times. There's an elementary school near my home, and the road signs always show a 20 km/h limit when I'm taking or picking up my child. The purpose is to protect children's safety and prevent accidents. If you drive a bit faster, the police might issue a fine, and there are plenty of surveillance cameras. Additionally, internal roads in residential areas sometimes have the same low speed limit, making residents feel safer when walking in the evening. I remember when I first got my driver's license, I wasn't paying attention and almost hit an electric scooter in the neighborhood—now I always pay extra attention to road signs. In short, driving slowly in these sensitive areas isn't just about following rules; it's also a sign of respect for pedestrians.
