If it is an urban road without a central dividing line, the speed limit is 30 kilometers per hour, and for urban highways, it is 40 kilometers per hour; for urban roads with only one motor vehicle lane in the same direction, the speed limit is 50 kilometers per hour, and for urban highways, it is 70 kilometers per hour. Speed limits for urban highways and roads: When encountering any of the following situations while driving, the maximum speed must not exceed 30 kilometers per hour, with tractors, battery-powered vehicles, and wheeled special machinery vehicles not exceeding 15 kilometers per hour: When entering or exiting non-motorized lanes, passing through railway crossings, sharp curves, narrow roads, or narrow bridges; When making U-turns, turning, or descending steep slopes; When encountering fog, rain, snow, dust storms, or hail with visibility less than 50 meters; When driving on icy or muddy roads; When towing a malfunctioning motor vehicle. Other speed limit regulations: Motor vehicles driving on roads must not exceed the speed indicated by signs or markings; on roads with two or more motor vehicle lanes in the same direction without speed limit signs or markings, the maximum speed for urban roads is 70 kilometers per hour, and for closed motor vehicle-only roads and highways, it is 80 kilometers per hour; Tunnels and tunnel groups generally have a speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour, accident-prone sections have speed limits generally 20 kilometers per hour lower than the main highway, sharp curves and interchange ramps are speed-limited according to their design speeds; ETC lanes have a speed limit of 20 kilometers per hour, and truck weigh-in-motion lanes have a speed limit of 5 kilometers per hour.

I've been driving in the city for over a decade. The speed limits on urban roads are typically set between 50 to 60 kilometers per hour, depending on the road type and location. Main roads usually have a 60 km/h limit, like those commonly seen within Beijing's Second Ring Road, while smaller roads or residential areas may drop to 50 or even 30 km/h. Areas near schools or hospitals are particularly strict, enforcing a 30 km/h limit. I once nearly got caught speeding by a camera, and a friend of mine was fined 200 yuan plus penalty points for a similar violation. Speed limits aren't just about traffic fines—they're crucial for pedestrian safety. Higher speeds in crowded areas increase accident risks. Rainy conditions make roads slippery, making speeding even more dangerous, so I always check road signs in advance and use navigation apps for alerts. Adhering to speed limits saves fuel and reduces accidents, which means long-term savings and peace of mind. During rush hour when roads are already congested, speed limits help maintain smoother traffic flow, benefiting everyone.

What Does Brake Irregularity Mean?

During the examination process, students often feel nervous and sometimes rush to press the brake pedal when decelerating, resulting in rapid speed reduction or vehicle jerking, which can lead to point deductions. Below is an introduction related to braking: 1. Concept: The braking system is a series of specialized devices in a car that apply a certain force (mainly from the road surface) to specific parts of the car (mainly the wheels), thereby enforcing a certain degree of braking. 2. Function: It enables a moving car to decelerate or even stop as required by the driver. It also ensures that a parked car remains stable under various road conditions and maintains a stable speed for cars going downhill.

What Causes the Engine to Make Loud Noises When Accelerating?

Reasons for loud engine noises when pressing the accelerator include: 1. Engine overheating causing loss of power. 2. Blocked internal engine valves. 3. Exhaust pipe leakage. 4. Dirty or clogged throttle. 5. Engine misfire (cylinder failure). 6. Low power steering fluid. 7. Damaged generator bearings. 8. Issues with power steering pump or water pump. Below is relevant information about the accelerator: The accelerator, also known as the throttle, controls engine power output. The driver operates the throttle lever in the cockpit, which transmits commands through the control system to the carburetor or fuel regulator on the engine.

What is the purpose of the cigarette lighter in a BMW Z4?

The functions of the cigarette lighter in a BMW Z4: lighting cigarettes, charging devices, and charging mobile phones. The function of lighting cigarettes: The manufacturer originally designed it to allow people in the car to light cigarettes even if they don't have a lighter, making it more convenient. Charging devices: The DC power from the cigarette lighter can be used to charge devices like dash cams. The cigarette lighter socket should be avoided from being exposed for long periods to prevent poor contact, failure, or short circuits caused by foreign objects. Charging mobile phones: It can charge mobile phones and even allows charging while the engine is off.

Why is the reversing radar not displaying?

Reasons and solutions for the reversing radar not displaying: 1. Wiring issues. Check the connection points between the reversing radar wiring and the vehicle's installation for any loose connections, as poor contact can cause the reversing radar to intermittently work. 2. Radar sensor failure. Inspect the reversing radar sensors, as faults can sometimes occur due to car washing or high-pressure water jet cleaning (also check if the internal wiring is secure). 3. Radar hardware failure. The reversing radar itself may have inherent defects or damage, or there could be loose wiring. It is recommended to visit a professional repair shop for inspection.

What is the Principle of Manual Transmission?

Manual transmission works by using shift forks to change the gear ratio of meshing gears, thereby altering the driving torque to suit different operating conditions. The following are the differences between manual and automatic transmissions: 1. Different operation difficulty: Manual transmission mainly relies on the driver stepping on the clutch to complete the gear shifting operation; Automatic transmission mainly relies on the hydraulic transmission principle of the torque converter to complete the gear shifting action. 2. Different safety: The neutral gear of a manual transmission car causes the car to lose power, posing a safety hazard during driving; Automatic transmission cars cannot use neutral gear for driving, making this driving method safer.
