What does the white 80 road marking mean?

The white 80 indicates a minimum speed limit of 80. Below is a detailed introduction to speeding penalties: Exceeding the speed limit by less than 10%: 3 demerit points. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 10% but less than 20%: 3 demerit points. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 20% but less than 50%: 3 demerit points. Exceeding the speed limit by more than 50% but less than 70%: 6 demerit points, and the driver's license may also be revoked. When speeding, drivers cannot fully and accurately perceive changes inside and outside the vehicle. It weakens the driver's spatial awareness and reduces their ability to judge speed.
I've been driving for twenty years and have seen all kinds of road signs. This white '80' means the speed limit is 80 kilometers per hour. It's usually painted near highway exits or curves to remind you to slow down and not exceed the speed limit. Last winter, when I was driving on the highway, I almost had an accident due to losing control in the rain because I didn't notice this kind of marking. Since then, I always glance at the road markings, and when I see '80', I ease off the accelerator to keep my speed within the limit. Remember, driving too fast can easily lead to rear-end collisions or veering off the road, especially on slippery surfaces. As an experienced driver, I advise new drivers to pay more attention to these details and develop good habits. Regularly checking tire conditions is also crucial to prevent accidents before they happen.
