What are the penalties for speeding in urban areas?

Speeding in urban areas will result in penalty points and fines. Here is some relevant information about speeding: Introduction: Speeding refers to the act of a driver operating a vehicle at a speed that exceeds the limits set by laws and regulations. For example, the maximum speed limit for cars on China's highways is 120km/h. Penalties for speeding: If the speed exceeds the limit by less than 10%, a warning will be issued. On roads with a speed limit below 50 km/h, exceeding the limit by 10% to less than 20% will result in a 50 yuan fine; exceeding by 20% to less than 50% will result in a 100 yuan fine; exceeding by 50% to less than 70% will result in a 300 yuan fine; exceeding by 70% or more will result in a 500 yuan fine.
Last time my buddy got caught going over 60 km/h in the city, the ticket was painful to look at. On regular roads, speeding within 20% is 3 points and a 100 yuan fine, exceeding 50% is an instant 6 points plus at least 500 yuan, and if you hit 100% over? 12 points gone in a second plus 2000 yuan. Gotta remind you, penalties on urban expressways are even harsher—going just 10% over on elevated roads means points deducted. Nowadays, cameras are all high-definition, even capturing your car decorations clearly. I always keep two dashcams running in my car: one filming the road and one pointed at the dashboard, just in case of misjudgment for evidence. The key point is unpaid fines double in late fees, and they’ll block your annual inspection. A few days ago, I helped a neighbor check 12123—his three-year-old speeding ticket’s late fees now exceed the original fine.
