What are the speed limit regulations for urban roads?
1 Answers
Urban roads are divided into ordinary urban roads and urban expressways. Ordinary urban roads typically have speed limits of 30-60 km/h, while expressways usually have speed limits of 80 km/h. The specific speed limits are subject to the road speed limit signs. Upcoming speeding penalty regulations: According to the new announcement from the Ministry of Public Security, the new traffic regulations will be implemented on April 1, 2022. The new regulations stipulate that exceeding the speed limit by less than 20% will not result in point deductions. Exceeding the speed limit by 20%-50% will result in 6 points deducted on highways and urban roads, and 3 points deducted on ordinary roads. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% will result in 12 points deducted on highways and urban roads, and 6 points deducted on ordinary roads. Dangers of speeding: When driving at high speeds, vehicles are often in a state of accelerating to follow or overtake other vehicles. Due to the close following distance, the driver's view is inevitably obstructed, leading to unclear observation and inaccurate judgment of the situation ahead, resulting in high levels of blind driving. Moreover, speeding significantly impairs the driver's vision, and the higher the speed, the more severe the vision impairment, making accidents highly likely.
