What are the speed limits for different lanes?
2 Answers
First lane: 100 to 120 kilometers per hour, second lane: 90 to 110 kilometers per hour, third lane: 60 to 100 kilometers per hour, fourth lane: emergency lane. Here are the relevant details: According to China's "Highway Engineering Technical Standards," expressways are multi-lane highways designed for vehicles traveling in different directions and lanes, with all lanes being controlled. Precautions: If the expressway is under special circumstances, there will be other speed limit regulations. When driving on the expressway, pay attention to traffic signs and do not exceed the speed indicated by the signs. In cases of snow, rain, fog, slippery roads, ice, or poor visibility, promptly reduce your speed to a safe level and maintain a necessary safe distance. Avoid driving recklessly, accelerating arbitrarily, frequently overtaking, or speeding to prevent dangerous situations.
After driving for so many years, I've learned that different lanes on the highway indeed have speed considerations. The left lane is the fast lane or overtaking lane, where the speed should generally be higher, say 110 to 120 kilometers per hour, but never exceed the speed limit to avoid fines from speed cameras. The right lane is the slow lane, suitable for vehicles moving at 80 to 100 kilometers per hour, making it safer for trucks or novice drivers. I've personally experienced traffic jams caused by drivers occupying the fast lane at low speeds, which not only risks accidents but also wastes others' time. The key is maintaining a safe distance, observing speed limit signs, and not relying solely on intuition. Driving too fast not only consumes more fuel but also increases braking distance. Always pay attention to the speed range suggested by your navigation system.
