What Happens If Driving Below 60 km/h on Highways?
1 Answers
Driving below 60 km/h on highways may result in fines. The minimum speed limit on highways is 60 km/h. Vehicles traveling below this limit by less than 20% will not be fined, but those exceeding 20% below the minimum speed limit will face fines and 3 penalty points. Exceptions include situations like road construction or traffic congestion where speeds naturally fall below the limit. Here are more details: 1. According to Article 78 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China": Highways must indicate lane speed limits, with maximum speeds not exceeding 120 km/h and minimum speeds not below 60 km/h. 2. Speed limits for other vehicle types: The maximum speed for small passenger cars must not exceed 120 km/h; large passenger vehicles and freight trucks must not exceed 90 km/h; motorcycles must not exceed 80 km/h and cannot carry passengers. However, if speed limit signs or road markings indicate different limits, those must be followed instead.
