What does the road marking 100 mean?
2 Answers
Road marking 100 indicates a speed limit of 100 km/h. White numbers on the ground represent the minimum speed limit, while yellow numbers indicate the maximum speed limit. Additional details are as follows: Speed limit: Typically refers to the maximum speed limit, which is generally set to prevent drivers from speeding and causing safety hazards. On highways and expressways, there are also minimum speed limit signs. Since vehicles normally travel at high speeds on highways and expressways, if some vehicles move too slowly, they can become moving obstacles on the road and easily lead to rear-end collisions. Therefore, highways and expressways have minimum speed limits, and usually, the minimum speed limit in the left lane is higher than that in the right lane. During traffic congestion, the minimum speed limit regulations are temporarily not enforced. The minimum speed limit on highways is generally 60 km/h.
I often see the road marking '100' while driving, which is a speed limit sign indicating you must not exceed 100 kilometers per hour. This type of marking is most commonly seen on highways, set by traffic authorities for safety to prevent accidents caused by excessive speed. For instance, on slippery roads or during heavy fog, even if it's marked 100, I voluntarily reduce my speed to around 80 for added safety. Remember, speeding not only risks fines and penalty points from the police but also increases the likelihood of losing control and causing accidents. So, I recommend everyone follow this rule and frequently glance at the speedometer during high-speed driving to stay focused.
