What is the concept of a speed of 25 mph?

A speed of 25 mph means you can travel approximately 25 kilometers in one hour. Below is a detailed introduction to gear shifting speeds: 1. Gear positions: Start in first gear, shift to second gear after traveling a few meters, shift to third gear when the speed reaches above 20 mph but below 35 mph, shift to fourth gear when the speed reaches above 35 mph but below 45 mph, and shift to fifth gear when the speed exceeds 45 mph. 2. Precautions: When shifting gears, the clutch and throttle must be coordinated properly. Press the clutch pedal all the way down, then release the throttle pedal, and quickly shift to the corresponding gear. After shifting, release your hand immediately and avoid keeping it on the gear lever for an extended period, as this can easily damage the gear lever.
When I usually drive, a speed of 25 km/h is particularly common on city streets, especially in residential areas or near schools. It feels leisurely and slow, without the whooshing wind noise, and the engine sound is much quieter. It's quite fuel-efficient, but the travel time might be a bit longer—maybe a 10-minute trip takes 15 minutes. I remember last time when I was picking up and dropping off my child at school in the neighborhood, the speed limit was below 25 km/h. As a result, visibility was excellent, and it was easy to brake and stop if a pedestrian or child suddenly appeared—much safer than the nervous pace of 40 or 50 km/h. After getting used to it, I actually find this rhythm quite suitable for daily commuting. However, if all cars drove this slowly, there might be slight congestion during peak hours, but I'd rather go a bit slower to ensure safety.
