What does the white 80 road marking mean?

[MacIsabela]

Ground markings with the number 80 in white indicate a minimum speed limit of 80 km/h. Ground markings with the number 80 in yellow indicate a maximum speed limit of 80 km/h. White numbers on the ground represent minimum speed limits, while yellow numbers represent maximum speed limits. Below are specific details about minimum speed limit signs: 1. Meaning: Road traffic signs are facilities that use graphic symbols, colors, and text to convey specific information for traffic management. They play a role in ensuring smooth traffic flow and driving safety, so drivers and all road users must comply with them. Traffic safety slogans can enhance drivers' and road users' awareness of voluntarily following traffic regulations, which is significant for building a safe and smooth traffic environment. 2. Current situation: In China, speed limit signs are primarily set up by dividing road sections. For general road sections with good alignment, speed limits are determined based on operating speeds. Other sections are set up according to traffic conditions or based on road traffic accident situations.

I've been driving for over a decade, and that white '80' marking on the road usually indicates a maximum speed limit of 80 km/h. These signs are commonly seen on suburban roads, such as major thoroughfares connecting urban and rural areas. The government sets these numbers for safety reasons, based on road curvature and traffic flow. I recommend that novice drivers pay close attention to road signs. Exceeding 90 km/h not only risks getting caught by speed cameras with fines and penalty points, but also increases accident risks, especially during rainy conditions when braking distances lengthen. Maintaining accurate speed control also saves fuel and money. Having experienced several close calls myself, when tailgating vehicles made speeding unsafe, these road markings literally saved my life.

I commute over an hour every day, and there are many white 80 markings on that highway, meaning the speed shouldn't exceed 80 km/h. I find this quite practical, as it saves me from constantly checking the dashboard and getting distracted. When traffic is heavy, everyone keeps to around 80, making the flow much smoother—unlike the slow crawl in the city. But remember, these speed limits are set for the current road section. Downhill curves can be particularly dangerous, so slowing down is crucial for stability. When I see these markings, I usually set my cruise control to around 78—safe and unlikely to attract police attention. Extra caution is needed in bad weather; speeding in fog or on wet roads can easily lead to loss of control.

I'm very interested in traffic rules. The white 80 road marking usually indicates a speed limit of 80 kilometers per hour. This design is standardized nationwide, with white numbers being highly visible and easy to recognize, especially at highway entrances or turning points. It helps remind drivers to adjust their speed and avoid accidents. Through my own research, I've learned that speed limits are determined by road smoothness and visibility. So when driving through these areas, I always check my car's tire pressure and brake condition. Following the 80 km/h flow during heavy traffic makes for a smooth drive. After developing these good habits, driving risks are significantly reduced.
