What are the speed limits for two-lane and three-lane highways?
2 Answers
Highway speed limits for two-lane and three-lane roads refer to the speed limits for vehicles traveling in the same direction on highways with two or three lanes. 1. Two-lane speed limits: On highways with two lanes in the same direction, the speed range for vehicles on the right lane is 60 to 100 km/h, while the speed range for vehicles on the left lane is 100 to 120 km/h. 2. Three-lane speed limits: On highways with three lanes in the same direction, the speed range for vehicles on the right lane is 60 to 90 km/h, the middle lane is 90 to 110 km/h, and the left lane is 110 to 120 km/h. Additional information: According to Article 78 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law," highways must clearly mark the speed limits for each lane, with the maximum speed not exceeding 120 km/h and the minimum speed not less than 60 km/h. Article 67 states: Pedestrians, non-motor vehicles, tractors, wheeled special machinery vehicles, articulated buses, full trailers, and other motor vehicles with a design maximum speed of less than 70 km/h are not allowed to enter highways. The maximum speed limit indicated by highway speed limit signs must not exceed 120 km/h.
Hey, talking about highway lane speeds, I was pretty clueless right after getting my driver's license, but you get the hang of it after driving more. For two lanes, the left lane usually has a speed limit of 120 km/h, specifically for overtaking—don't hog it. The right lane is between 80 and 120 km/h, suitable for normal driving. With three lanes, the left is the 120 km/h overtaking lane, the middle is the 100 to 120 km/h driving lane, and the right is the 80 to 100 km/h slow lane, meant for trucks or new drivers. Driving too fast can easily get you a ticket—going over 10% above the limit is risky. A friend of mine got flashed doing 110 km/h in the middle lane. Also, always check road signs, as speed limits can vary by region. In rainy weather, slowing down to under 100 km/h is safer. The key to highway driving is not to panic—new drivers should practice in the right lane at 90-100 km/h, keeping a safe distance of at least two seconds to avoid tailgating. In short, 120 km/h is the absolute max, but getting home safely is what matters most—try not to push the limits.
