What does 'No centerline urban 3 public 4, with centerline urban 5 public 7' mean?
2 Answers
'No centerline urban 3 public 4' means that the speed limit on urban roads without a centerline is 30 km/h, and the speed limit on highways is 40 km/h. 'With centerline urban 5 public 7' means that the speed limit on urban roads with a centerline is 50 km/h, and the speed limit on highways is 70 km/h. Speed regulations: The maximum legal driving speed for cars in China is 120 kilometers per hour, and this speed is only allowed on highways. In general urban roads, the speed limit is usually 50 or 60 kilometers per hour. Drivers must adhere to the speed limits when driving on roads. Precautions: Driving habits should be gentle, avoiding aggressive driving behaviors such as sudden acceleration, sudden braking, and sharp turns. Aggressive driving can cause the engine, brakes, throttle, steering, and chassis systems to react and move violently without proper break-in, potentially damaging components within these systems. These delicate components are often difficult to repair effectively.
As a veteran taxi driver with years of experience driving around the city, I can tell you that the phrase 'no centerline city 30, public 40; with centerline city 50, public 70' is a shorthand for speed limit rules. On urban roads without a centerline, the speed limit is 30 km/h—safety first, as the lack of a centerline makes accidents more likely. 'Public 40' refers to ordinary roads without a centerline, where the limit is 40 km/h, so drive carefully. Urban roads with a centerline have a 50 km/h limit—you can go a bit faster but don't exceed it. 'Public 70' means highways with a centerline where the limit is 70 km/h. I've seen too many new drivers ignore these rules, getting fined for speeding or causing minor accidents. Remembering these numbers helps a lot. Always check road signs while driving, and using a speed limit app makes it even easier. Speed limits have gotten stricter, but slowing down ensures everyone's safety—better safe than sorry.
