What counts as speeding on urban expressways with a 60 km/h speed limit?
1 Answers
Exceeding 60 km/h is considered speeding. Introduction to Expressways: Urban expressways, a type of expressway and the main component of rapid highways, rank at the top of the four levels of urban roads. These roads feature a central divider, have at least four lanes in both directions, and are fully or partially grade-separated with controlled access, allowing vehicles to travel at higher speeds. Their primary purpose is to ensure smooth and continuous vehicle flow, enhancing transportation efficiency within the city. Definition of Expressways: A key principle of urban expressways is that they have no traffic lights, enabling continuous traffic flow. Therefore, all intersections must be designed as interchanges, whether simple or complex, depending on the related roads. Beijing's Second, Third, and Fourth Ring Roads are typical examples of expressways. While Chang'an Avenue is as wide as the Fourth Ring Road, it has numerous traffic lights and at-grade intersections, classifying it as a main road rather than an expressway.
