What is the following distance when driving below 100 km/h on the highway?
1 Answers
When driving on the highway at speeds below 100 km/h, the distance between your vehicle and the one in front in the same lane can be appropriately reduced, but the minimum distance must not be less than 50 meters. Below is relevant information about following distances: Road speed limit requirements: According to traffic experts, speed limits are primarily set based on the road environment and traffic flow needs. For example, some suburban roads may only have two lanes in each direction but allow speeds up to 70 km/h; in urban areas, some roads may have eight wide lanes but are densely populated with inconvenient traffic, likely resulting in speed limits of 40 km/h or 60 km/h. Different speed limits for different road sections: Even on the same highway, speed limits can vary for different sections, especially on sharp curves, slopes, tunnels, bridges, ramps, and construction zones. These limits may be adjusted and can change based on actual conditions. Generally, the maximum speed limit for passenger cars on highways is 120 km/h, but due to factors like road environment in the actual design and construction of highways, speed limits can range from 80 km/h to 120 km/h.
