What does the road marking 100 mean?
2 Answers
The meaning of the road marking 100 is: the maximum speed limit is 100 kilometers per hour. Speed limits usually refer to the regulation of vehicle speed within a certain numerical range over a certain length of road, with the main purpose of pre-warning drivers to reasonably control their speed in the subsequent sections ahead and to prevent the danger of speeding. The following is extended content: When driving on highways, motor vehicles are prohibited from the following behaviors: 1. reversing, driving in the opposite direction, making U-turns across the central divider, or stopping within the lane; 2. overtaking on ramps, acceleration lanes, or deceleration lanes; 3. straddling or riding on the lane dividing line or driving on the shoulder; 4. driving or stopping on the emergency lane under non-emergency situations; 5. test driving or learning to drive a motor vehicle.
To be honest, when I first got my driver's license, I was also very curious about these markings. The road marking '100' usually indicates a maximum speed limit of 100 kilometers per hour, commonly seen on highways or expressways. This number is either written inside a circle or directly marked on the road surface to remind us not to drive too fast. I often drive long distances, and I remember one time when I didn't slow down after seeing it, I almost had an accident. Actually, it's not just about speed limits; occasionally in remote areas, it might indicate distance markers, such as being 100 kilometers away from the city. But 99% of the time, it's a speed limit sign. When you encounter this while driving, I recommend reducing your speed and maintaining a safe distance, especially since beginners tend to overlook the speedometer. Speeding not only results in fines but also increases the risk of accidents. The rules vary slightly from province to province, but the basics are the same. Everyone should pay more attention to road signs and develop good habits. In short, safe driving should always be the top priority.
